Computer not showing USB Drives
I have a new Poweredge SC420 running Windows XP (service pack 2). Otherwise it is running fine. The problem is that when I try to use a USB port, it does not display the "drive" that should be created. For example, when I insert a jumpdrive, it correctly scans it, installs it and says the drive is available for use. However, when I look in Windows Explorer or My Computer, it does not show the jumpdrive as a "drive". It only shows my hard drives and CD drives (2 of each). On other computers, the jumpdrive will show up as a new "drive" and is accessible just as any other harddrive. The same is true when I try connecting a digital camera. Normally it would show as a new drive but with this machine, it does not show up at all although it is saying it has installed everything. I have gone into Control Panel-System-Device Manager and verified that it is present and working properly as a USB device but still it is not listed. There must be somewhere I have to switch something or whatever to make it display new drives (I tried using refresh on the explorer and my computer screens). I know the devices work because they worked properly on other machines and I tried different USB ports on this machine.
Please help.
