I'd heard and read about it, but due to the massive amount of anti Vista FUD getting around, I just put it down to a user issue.
Until after a fresh Vista install on a clients PC, I hooked up my external HDD to restore the clients backup, Vista asked for USB drivers :S, after letting it look for drivers both online and in a few windows folder locations where I know they like to hang out, nothing.
A look into the device manager showed a exclamation mark on “Generic USB Hub”
After a few minutes googling support forums, and trying fixes, I found one that worked
Locate the file %systemroot%/inf/INFCACHE.1
Right click on it and give your current user full access, then delete it.
No need to reboot, I reconnected my ext USB drive and bingo! it was back to normal.
Why it went bad in the first place and had to be deleted, I do not know.
