O.k., so maybe the USB port could have been damaged somehow. Have you 
tried to attach the flash drive into another USB port? For example, in 
one of the ports that you know is already working for other devices.

Also, to discard a hardware issue, you can load a LiveCD of your choice 
(better try with any recent linux distribution) and see if it is working 
there.

I fail see any link with this issue. In what way do you think the wifi 
USB dongle can be interering with a proper detection of a mass storage 
device? :-?
