Guest EMAXSAUN Report post Posted June 3, 2003 Hey, I got a USB 2.0 Hard Drive, 180 GIGS, and it is having some big problems. I have windows XP professional, and I just upgraded to usb 2.0. All of my other usb devices work with it. My hard drive though, works, but then when I copy files, it sometimes works, but after a while it will just hang, and I have to turn off the HD. I have tried so many different things, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MrRant Report post Posted June 5, 2003 Check the manufacturer websites of both the enclosure and the card. Check what the dates on their drivers are compared to what the dates are on your current ones (found in the Device Manager if you click Properties on the item and go to the Driver tab.) Worst comes to worst you exchange the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EMAXSAUN Report post Posted June 6, 2003 I have the newest of everything, except for the final driver for usb 2.0 from microsoft, but it was supossed to update automatically when i upgraded to sp1, but it only gave me the 1st version. Is there a place where i can get the latest microsoft xp usb 2.0 driver? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted June 6, 2003 Try going to Windows Update and see if it gives it to you. If not do a search of support.microsoft.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest it-lenny Report post Posted June 9, 2003 If the HD works after you reset it, and the USB card works fine with all other external devices, I would suspect the drive of being bad more then anything else. Empty the drive and take it back to the store.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
