I tried that once before without any positive results. But I thought I'd give it another go just in case. Well now I'm really screwed! I made a restore point but that got deleted by Windows due to all the reboots and creating new restore points. So I lost all my drivers. Here's the gory details.I downloaded it.how to move it to C?
- Download drivecleanup.zip, unzip and save to your desktop. Move the 32 or 64 bit version ofDriveCleanup.exe to C:\Windows\System32
I ran the DriveCleanup.exe here's what got removed

After the reboot, none of my USB drives worked, old or new. Looking at this thread, I saw that I needed to remove all the USB hubs, controllers, and mass storage devices and let Windows reinstall them. I did that and rebooted. Now one of my Controllers fails to reinstall so the PC spends all it's time trying to install or find the correct driver. None of the hard drives show in My Computer. I can only see them using diskmgmr as unassigned devices but I can't do anything with them.
Any idea how to get the USB Bus Controller back. It shows location PCI bus 2 device 0 function 0. Any any ideas now to make Windows stop trying to install it until I figure out how to fix it?
