If you simply can not get any USB port working or every one has been broken you can fit a PCI to USB Card and work from that, they are cheap easy to fit, don’t take much to install and are a lot cheaper than a replacement M’Board. If that is the case there should be No USB Ports shown in Device Manager and it’s then an easy fix though you’ll most likely need the recovery CD to install the correct drivers for the hardware. It’s also worth looking into to see if the USB Ports are enabled in BIOS before you go any further I’ve seen several cases where after a repair the computer has been returned with Disabled USB Ports. If you only have one working port it’s worth buying a powered Hub and connecting via the Hub to the good Port. I’ve seen a few examples of the USB Ports being treated a bit more than roughly and being broken in the process. Try another USB Port and preferably one that you know is working and see if the drive now works. I’ve seen a couple of cases where after a repair by HP the front USB ports where no longer connected and didn’t work, I don’t know if that applies here but it’s worth a look see before you waste too much Time & Effort over. If the USB Ports works I agree with the previous posted reinstall the driver but if it doesn’t work I would suggest that you open the case and make sure that it’s actually connected. I’ll put a caveat on my post here I’ve never touched a computer loaded with Home I only work with the Pro version of XP though in this case there shouldn’t be any difference. After that you can then start to look around in the Device Manager and see what’s installed in the way of USB Hubs and so forth.
