I don't have any trouble with my flash drives in SP2.

Did anyone ever get a solution to this problem??

I have 2 PC's, desktop & laptop, but am only experiencing the problem on the
desktop. Anytime I connect my USB flash drive (PNY 128), the system will
automatically reboot, and if I do not unplug the flash drive, the PC will go
into a continual reboot cycle. This only started after installing SP2.

The same problem occurs when pluggin in a Fujifilm digital camera into the
desktop... neither issue occurs with the laptop.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks

USB 2.0 driver issue. Delete from device manager and reinstall.
