haha ok... you should see the removable drives in My Computer at least? I can with my vista install anyway.. try going to intel and installing the chipset drivers from them the SB will be the important one in the case. its the ICH8M (ICH8R really... its just a slightly smaller die for the mobile version)

I thought ICH8M was just the sata chipset?

Not showing any removable drives.
Can't find anything on Intel site - ICH8M draws a blank on the Intel site search engine.

I'm assuming the chipset driver is the one you have, and installing it did nothing? Did removing it from device manager and doing a rescan do anything at all (whatever that's called in Vista)?
I've seen similar things on XP and fixed them by taking an axe to the registry, but that's not really the recommended way :/

There's something fundamentally amiss here. The chipset driver I got from Rock is the one Chaos is pointing me at. It appears to contain all the USB driver files but Vista won't have it.
However USB mouse is working fine!

Thanks Chaos. But I've got the driver. It's clearly not a driver issue.
Interestingly, the wireless adaptor ain't working either. Never has according to Mikey. Dunno if that's related.

I know that wireless can be physically turned OFF on some laptops (switch or something at back, side or bottom)?

The number of times people used to bring laptops back in Comet because the wi-fi isn't working - only because they havn't turned it on.
It's usually either a dedicated button or a function button.

Nope. It's on. No button. Least Vista says its on. Not that I trust anything that Vista says.
