re: usb problem Thursday, July 14, 2005 at 1:20 pm Posted by Paulina (3264 messages posted) So you have an unknown make USB Drive - with no drivers ..... You don't know if it has drivers or if it needs drivers and XP doesn't recognize it ..... It contains some unknown file or script that your anti-virus zeros in on as it tries to run ..... I take it that you're trying to test your system or destroy it and you want to know how to speed up that process ??
