Drewdatrip Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Make sure the device has proper installation drivers.If thats already verified, try to isolate the isse by using the devise another another system, and see if you stil have the same results. If thats the case, most likly one of the things in not working and needs to be replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickytwista Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 thx 4 fast reply...usb2 card is working fine as the usb 2 dvdwriter i also use is working fine on it...also the freecom website (which is the hdd manufacturer) says it needs no driver 4 it unless using win 98 ...hdd works ok only on usb 1 port though and detects that its a usb2 drive and says it will run faster if use usb 2 device...very strange issue.....i also have a thinkpad t20 on xp also and it gives me same error....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
