How do I get hidden USB drives to work again.
Thanks everybody for a excellent forum,
I'm a total noob here and I have to admit I'm no computer expert so please bear with me.
I noticed it the other day when a friend gave me a USB stick with pictures on it that my computer wont recognize it. You can hear the bleep noise when you insert it but nothing happens. Ended up taking the stick to Walgreens to have the pictures made. I thought maybe the stick was not formatted for my computer and I left it at that.
Couple of days ago I wanted to load some music for my wife on her iPad, well it won't see it either. It won't even charge it. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again. And still nothing. It does pickup and work with our iPhones though. I did some searching and found the following.
USB Driver - General Fix for Problems
Well I tried that and now my computer wont go to sleep, I cannot adjust the speaker volume on the keyboard, my DVD drive will pick up a DVD but it wont read the info on it and the USB drives still wont pick up the USB devices.
The computer did not came with a disc so I don't know what tot do. I'm not smart enough to know what to uninstall or what to install.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !!
