After a hard drive failure, I recovered the file data off of the hard drive,
recovered the file structure, re-installed Windows XP Pro, dug up all of the
(ancient at this point) notebook drivers off of Sager & Clevo sites, re-installed a weeks worth of software and... blam! Suddenly, the system
will not allow any USB or IEEE 1394 devices (I do Visual FX training so need
to use USB/Firewire drives, Firewire DV cameras, etc...). But like many here, it seems, XP recognizes new devices, yellow exclamation marks them, refuses to load the drivers (even if I have them - saying they all
have "invalid data", or just simply "problem loading device"). I've tried everything, nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Tried your suggestion to someone else of checking BIOS for on-board device assignment, but my BIOS has no options for that. It used to work fine so thought it might be a device/driver conflict of some sort?
Best regards,
