why won’t my old desktop and laptop read my flashdrives?

by it2md . Updated 14 years, 5 months ago

I have a compaq 5310 us with a 5 port 2.0 usb card and a laptop with 2.0 usb ports ….so why don’t either of these machines read new 2.0 plug and play hardware? The desktop will read a older flash drive that I have, but not other flashdrives, my camera, mobile phone, or anything with a usb connection. The laptop wont even read the one flashdrive. …so does anyone know why or how to correct this? they are both running Win.XP and will need to be archived and backed up this week ?

thanks in advance
