In my experience Norton or its recovery disks seldom do much good so if you cannot see the USB ports at all then you have not loaded the drivers for the motherboard USB ports. You need the motherboard make and version to get them from the motherboard web site support section.
System restore only works if it is switched to save a mirror image of you hard drive condition.

Safe Mode using the f8 menu is fine but Safe Mode crashes out and restarts, as soon as it Loads files, unless I put a Norton recovery disc in, in which case it will do a AV check Report ok not infected but command prompt for cd give bad error or command response? By the way the system restore under XP was switched off and has been for the last couple Of years to save disc space!
