Hi Guys, sorry its late getting back to you. Right to start with yesterday I did a registry clean. with CClean. Then today when I switched the PC on I thought I would try and plug in my “ALL IN ONE DOCKING STATION” I then plugged my USB memories that did not work into it and low and behold the PC seen them and displayed what was on them, I also plugged the portable drives in and they worked to. So next thing I plugged the USB’s and the portable drives straight into the PC and they worked fine. So could it have been something in the registry ?
I would like to thank you for your interest in trying to help
Bill
