Not sure if this is the right place, sorry if not, only I'm in need of help with the following:
Just competed a fresh format & install of Xp. I Have not added any new components, all hardware drivers are up to date, and yet when I connect my freecom Ext HD it will not work.
When connect the LED flashes for a bit and get the usual detected noise, then LED stays on as if detected. Only when I open it get the following "The request could not be performed because of I/O device error"
It is recognized in the system manager and in the Bios.
Full spec in Sig, any ideas?
Seems like a hub issue with power, only drive has its own external source.
Is there something I have missed in the Bios?
