Reset Usb

The reset-usb.sh script is a solution to hard disk detection issues in Linux, specifically addressing USB controller problems. It works by utilizing sub-scripts and a for loop to unbind and rebind the controllers, with suggested enhancements for Kali Linux.

the same for /sys/bus/usb/drivers/*.

in case kali failed to detect presence of hard disks, shall you pop up a dialog for us to decide whether to reset to usb or not.
