Mass Storage Controller

[delta4s]

I have a HP-Compaq nx5000 laptop (Intel Pentium M 1.3 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Intel 855 GM Chipset)
I reinstalled Windows recently and I have an unknown device called the Mass Storage Controller. I am unable to find drivers for it. I installed the latest Intel Chipset drivers and USB2.0 drivers but I still get the Unknown device. Normally it wouldnt bother me, but it has significantly slowed down access to my USB hard disk.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

I was looking at the specs for your laptop and it says it has a firewire controler maby this is your problem or the card reader.

"Secure digital (SD) slot - USB 2.0 (2), IEEE-1394"

Check to see if there is a 'Utility CD' that should have came with the machine. It should contain all the neccessary drivers for all the components for that particular machine.

Have you tried looking here for drivers:

Yes I have the utility CD and I installed all the drivers from there ( I am using XPSP2 by the way )

It used to work fine, but I formatted yesterday because it was getting a little sluggish and now it doesnt work.
