Hi, thanks for reply.
To be honest, Windows machines just make me want to curl up and give up. I prefered the simplicity of the the old Atari ST back in the day, lol.
1. There are two drivers that won't install, even though Windows finds one and then rejects it with an error.
One is most definitely for a new hard drive caddy in which I want to hot-swap hard drives for repairs and cloning.
2. Ive run SFCFix, and its exported a much smaller file, in which reports corrupt files: And I am wondering if there is some type of conflict going on?

3. I have checked Device Manager many times including the 'hidden devices' under Device Manager/View/Show hidden devices.
However, no extra missing devices were found.
4. By device is installed, I am guessing that you mean that the hardware is plugged in and supplied with power where appropriate? It is.
5. I tried right clicking in Properties, and did not notice the "Device Status" box before. ... I had been looking on the 'details' tab, and searching through the 'property' tabs for info: No doubt wasting a lot of time.
The device status for 'Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller' is "This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)
"
a. Using online option, their is a "problem installing" which is what is infuriating me! ... No error code given.
b. The "Unknown Device" ... This gives Code 43 ... Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems.
- However, on the General Tab, its location is reported as 'Port_#0001.Hub_#0008'
I've tried restarting in safe-mode, and also with device signing turned off.
To be honest, if there is no problem, then I might just hide them. However, I really need to install some hard drives, and clone/archive from them. I am also finding issues with plugging the hard drives directly into the SATA internally. I did have a hard drive fault with bad sectors on a drive on there, so there is a slim possibility of a piece of hardware dying on the GygaByte motherboard, but I somehow doubt it?
