Hi,

I am having trouble with the USB ports on the back of my computer. The ones built into the motherboard which is a Asus Premium SLi A8N.
They recognise my iomega external CD drive and this shows up in explorer.
They also recognise a logitech webcam and offer to install drivers.

All good. But! I have USB 2.0 ports and am running windows service pack.1, which should come with USB 2.0 drivers but i keep getting a message that tells me the USB 2.0 external CD writer won't run at USB 2.0 speeds because i dont have a 2.0 controller. I have tried installing the USB 2.0 controller off the asus CD but it wont let me cos it tells me i have sp.1 and i dont need it. Well it is wrong i do!

Help would be great. Thanks
 
Yay.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the USB and this time it worked. Yay! I do like a tempermental computer you become attached to it when you spend so much time poking around in it. Plus i am slowly learning.

Thank you for your help.
 
USB 2.0 Problems

Hey guys. Please help! When I went to open my USB 2.0 disk a while ago to access a file, a message came up saying "Disk not formatted. Do you want to format now?" This has never happened before and there are a lot of very important documents on there. I tried shutting down my computer and switching to another USB port on the same computer but to no avail. When I went to disk management, it said: layout-partition; type-basic; file system-(this was blank); status-healthy; capacity-248MB; free space-248MB; % Free-100%; fault tolerance-no; overhead-0%. I've always been one to shut down USB disk before taking it out of the USB drive so I don't understand. Please help. I don't know what else to do!!! :dead:

Sounds like you were hit with the erase all files virus...
Not only has an especially lethal email virus been circulating recently, that erases your hard drive, it now appears someone has packaged the virus code in an email targeted at the UBBDev community.
it also was attached to many porn sites.

you might try a very good data recovery program... several will recovery files from Crashed HardDrives... google will help.
