hi!b,
well there is a little problem at you suggested solution


First, make hidden folders visible. Open My Computer and choose Tools/Folder Options/View tab. Click on 'Show hidden files and folders' and click OK.< __ I found it

In the Add New Hardware Wizard, have it search in C:\windows\inf for usbstor.inf. This file is required for windows to properly configure the driver. If Windows finds the driver there, you're done.M<__it didnt found it !

If Windows does not find the proper driver there, copy usbstor.sys from C:\windows\servicepack\i386 to C:\windows\system32\drivers.< _______ window cant found this file: servicepack

If you can't find the usbstor.inf file on your system, you can get it here: usbstor.inf<- i have

After copying the usbstor.inf driver file to C:\Windows\inf, right-click on My Computer and choose ‘Manage.'<__when i copy it on the destination, it said window has already got this file, it asked me if i change it or not, i press yes then it replace the old one!

Click on the button labeled 'Device Manager.'<------no proublem

Click to open the list under 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers.'< ____no proublem at here

Right click on any mass storage devices with the exclamation icon next to them and select 'Update Driver.'

Check the option 'Install from a list or a specific location' and then click to continue.<_no proublem

Check next to 'Include this location in the search' and enter 'C:\windows\inf'.< ____i have did it

Click on 'Next' and follow the steps to complete the driver installation .....< ____-window cant find a software better than what is using,so it didnt didnt show any continous step just finish!and the result is ,still cant dected

and now i am thinking should i re-install the window
