go to ur cmos setting by pressing del at startup...not look 4 the usb option in advanced settings...in there ,there will be two or three options...two of which will be hi speed and full speed...if urs is full then turn it to high and vice versa....save settings n exit...
i think this will solve ur probs...:)

friend if you are not able to get cmos plz try to get cmos from another keys like tab,f1 etc if not able then tell here if there is setting problem or password protect you can able to crack it by open your cpu s case and disconnect cmos battery then after few minutes insert it properly and then try again

When you insert the Pen Drive in your system, Open the device Manager from the System Control Panel Applet. See if it shows some Unrecognized Devices. And ask your friend wether this device is Plug and Play compatible or does it need extra drivers.

Also check some other USB device in the ports to see if your USB ports are working properly or not.
