My windows 2000 server doesn't show ports in the device manager, it just
isn't there.
Any ideas on what to do.
If I run the repair option on the installation disk will it likely fix this
and if so what will it mess up.
Thanks for any help.
John

Let's start with a check on whether the ports are activated in bios.
 
They are activated, but are USB ports.

You need to double-check that bios assigned an IRQ to USB, thats a
requirement in W2K. During Post, Pause to read device list and ESC to resume
in order to confirm IRQ. In device manager, make sure you are also viewing
hidden devices just in case. Have you installed a driver for the USB hub?
