    So your USB ports are fine (if the kb/mouse work in the port you tried the flash drive in).
    Last try-test the flash drive in another PC.
    If no good take it back to Argos. It should work out the box-no drivers required.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    by seeing that, i think it might be because the USB ports aren't supplying enough power to power all the connected devices which might be why they aren't showing up
  • ive tried with just my mem card and no luck
