Windows Not Detecting Any USB drive? - Solution....

Windows Not Detecting Any USB drive? - Solution....
This problem occurs when no device is connected to a USB port. That makes the USB driver set the Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) controller to a suspended state. When the OHCI controller is in a suspended state, it cannot always detect when you add a new USB device to your computer. SOLUTION:-
==========
* Click Start Menu -> Go to RUN
* Type REGEDIT

Registry Editor will open.
* Locate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SYSTEM ->ControlSet001 -> Services ->USBstor]
* Find "Start" in the right panel
* Double click "Start". A box titled "Edit DWORD value" will open.
* Write down "3" in the "Value Data" Field.
* Click OK and then close the Registry Editor.
Your USB flash drive is now Enabled. You can Disable it also By Putting The value as "4"
Note:-
This trick will only Enable/Disable USB Mass Storage devices and will not affect other USB Devices such as USB Keyboard, USB Mouse, Scanner, Printer etc
