Default USB Device Not Recongnized

I am new to rooting phones and I just successfully rooted my AT&T nexus one.

Once I successfully did that I moved forward to flash my first ROM.

However I went to flash CyanogenMod v5.0.5.3 and something went wrong.

I think I did not copy the full file over to my SD card and the flash could not be completed and now my computer will not recognize my device when I plug it in. I have no idea where to go from here.

Everything else works fine on my phone, just nothing happens when I connect it to my computer and I have no way to reload roms or anything to my phone now.

Any help or tips is greatly appreciated.

Can you mount the phone from the notifications bar at all?

My apologizes on posting in the wrong section.

How do you mount phone from notifications bar? I am not sure what that means... sorry I am really new to android. Are you talking about the notifications bar on my nexus one or my computer?

Nothing happens when I connect my nexus one to my computer at all except for the pop up saying USB device not recongizned.

I am attempting to reload the drivers now.

Thank you for the tips.

for android when you connect your phone to your computer the nexus itself should show you a notification that you have connected to a computer and that you can "mount" the sd card to the computer for file transfer. if you do not see anything new show in the notifications bar on the nexus reboot to recovery mode and mount the usb from there. to reboot to recovery power off the nexus and hold down the volume down button while booting it will show you an option to go into recovery.

With Android phones you have to mount it from the phone. Drag the top bar down and it should say "USB connected." Press the notification and select mount. It should show up on your computer after. If you don't have that notification, reload the drivers.

Ok thanks. When I pull down the notifications bar it does not show USB connected at all and I know it used to before this happened.

I attemped to reload the drivers however when I open my device manager I do not see my nexus one... there is just "USB Mass storage device" there with an error next to that option.

You can try using USBDeview here, uninstall the drivers, and plug back in your phone to reinstall the drivers.
