I'm having a very annoying problem about this Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder and Maxtor external HDdrive "USB not recognize" problem when I connect it to any USB ports.Everything is OK in the Hardware Device Manager..no yellow exclamation point anywhere particularly in the USB part. I've tried plugging another device into the port where the malfunctioning device would always be and there are no problems. both devices were working properly yesterday...??????....

can you tell me what is device failed enumeration?i just install some software which is showing parameters of my comp.and one of the ports where the camera was plugged in shows me ...enumeration

...system is xp profesional version 2002 servis pack 2. and how about external hdd....the comp couldnt even recognize device...
