Hi,
Hope someone can solve this!
system:
AMD64 3500+
Abit AT8 mobo
Tagan 520W PSU
Connect3d ATI 1800XT PCI-E 256mb
2x 512mb Geil value ram
1x pioneer(?) DVD-RW IDE
1x 80gb IDE HD
1x 120gb SATA HD
1x 160gb SATA HD
1x 160gb Western digital external HD
win xp sp2
I have recently upgraded to the Abit AT8 motherboard, ati x1800xt and tagan psu. I did a clean windows install onto the IDE HD and it runs beautifully. The two SATA drives also work without a problem. The problem i am having is with the external USB HD. If i boot up the computer into windows, with the usb drive plugged in, it just doesnt detect it. If i switch it to a different usb port it will then detect it. Every time i turn the drive off, or restart, i have to switch the usb port that it sits in to get it recognised in windows. I have updated to the latest bios (1.1), and still no joy.
any thoughts anyone?
cheers,
Ferg
