An error occurred the other day where windows said that it could not read
the HD, and after that the problem started where Windows cannot read any USb
device (not even the built-in cam). It finds a device but cannot recognize
it. I ran a check disk but nothing changed.. Anything else I could do to fix
it?

The internal hard drive (HD) is not using a USB connection.
Microsoft has not design the Windows to boot directly off a USB
device. If you had a boot problem and not a USB device access
problem, I would suggest taking the laptop to a repair centre. It
seems to be having some hardware problems.
