So lately none of my USB storage devices seem to work. I plug them in, they light up but never mount. If I look in Device Manager, I can see the device in the tree with the yellow ! icon. Looking in the properties for the device shows the message "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Object Name not found."
This has happened with a few different USB flash drives and hard disks and my iPod nano. Doesn't seem to matter which USB socket I connect them to. Other USB devices (keyboard, mouse, headset etc.) work fine. I've tried disabling fast startup and uninstalling the drivers for the USB controllers via device manager, no joy.
