Hello all,

I'm having a pretty big issue. Before, I was able to connect to my computer via 
USB just fine. A couple days ago, I attached a cape and assembled a small robot 
kit around it. I ran some example programs on the cape a couple times at 
different times of the day. Unfortunately, when I got home to show it off to my 
family, it no longer wanted to connect - randomly.

Now it's been a couple of days and still won't connect. I have been trying to 
get it to work again, but to no avail. All the proper lights are blinking, so I 
believe it's turning on fine when I plug it in. Windows even makes the noise 
like its connecting and disconnecting. But whereas my File Explorer would pop 
up when I connected it, it no longer appears. It just doesn't want to mount.

I tried resetting my computer, resetting the beagleboard, and tried a different 
USB cable and port. I tried asking my friends and searched around. I find very 
little cases like mine, and they all see seem to manage to get it to work using 
different solutions. None of which work for me.


Per suggestion elsewhere, I ran a utility that allows me to look at the USB 
ports. The one on top is with the BBB unconnected, bottom is connected. It 
seems there is no difference.

summarize: BBB on Windows 8 no longer mounts though it makes the connecting 
noise. Also powers up as normal when connected. Haven't really do anything 
out of the ordinary

it happened except for attach a cape and run a couple of robotics programs 
for it about a day before it stopped working.
