Hi everyone,
Seems this problem has hit me. I came home on Saturday to find my screen frozen. After a hard boot my external HDD was coming up not recognised.
Tried all of the remedies, turned off for hours, restacked the USBs, etc. with no luck. Now here's the thing - all my USB ports work at USB 1.1, just not with my HDD which is USB 2.0.
If I plug the HDD into the front port I get the message "this device will perform faster in a USB 2.0 port", but it does work. Unfortunately, I don't have the years necessary to transfer hundreds of gigs of data at USB 1.1 speed.
Any ideas how I can make USB 2.0 work again or do I just have to buy a new PC?
Regards,
Antony
I have a PC running XP, 3.0 Ghz P4P800-SE with 2Gb RAM
