Re: HELP!!! USB drive gone belly up!!!

You can try doing 2 things:

1) Remove the drivers for the USB controllers in Windows, and reset the machine to redetect them.

2) Turn them off in the motherboard bios and restart the machine. Then turn off the machine again and turn the USB ports back on.

I am just spotballing but that may help. Do you use a UPS on your HTPC? I would recomend it so that brownouts/blackouts don't damage equipment.
