USB view is used to show you all USB devices connected to your PC and show pid ID numbers so you can modify the .inf file , modifying the .inf with the correct numbers will or at least should let windows identify the device to allow installation of the drivers ?

Install 'Action Replay'. Install the update to v1.40. Do NOT open the program!

Open 'USBView' and then press 'F5' on your keyboard to ensure the list is refreshed.

Find the new 'USB Mass Storage Device', click on it so it displays it's properties on the right.

Yes I most definitely did that part, but I guess once I have fixed my laptop today I will be starting most of the process from scratch and I'll try it again!

Good luck jaybee, I do hope everything works out OK :)
