Are you plugging into a USB Hub ?

If so, avoid the hub and try another USB slot, one of the ones at the rear of the PC


EDIT: Just saw this

This is Microsoft's explanation to code 10 => kb943104

In summary it's a generic error code message because Windows doesn't know what it is. The solution is to uninstall and reinstall your USB drivers. You must get rid of the yellow exclamation mark, it is an unmistakable sign your drivers are not properly installed, are corrupt, or are out-of-date. Either way you must uninstall them and reinstall functioning drivers.

There's actually a known problem where the USB drivers get corrupted. OTTOMH it involves downloading replacing USBSTOR.inf and USBSTOR.sys. Happened to me a year or so ago.
