the crash could have mangled you drivers, you tried a system restore to some point before the crash?Ever stop to think and forget to start again?0

Plug your USB stick in, then go into Device Manager, open up the USB tree in there you should see it connected. If you cant tell which it is, unplug, then reconnect USB stick to see which one disappears then comes back. Right click on the usb stick in Device Manager, then click driver.
Unplug, reboot PC, then stick USB stick in and it should plug n play the drivers back on and hopefully it should work.
Works everytime my usb stick goes belly up

Is it just the USB Stick that your computer brings up this fault with, or does it do it with all USB devices?0
