I'm running

windows xp
athlon xp 1500+
1gb ram
ecs motherboard..forgot which one.
techgear usb2.0
generic firewire card

I'm had problems at first trying to put my new 5g iPod into my computer through usb. Whenever i had it plugged in and tried to open "my computer" the screen would freeze up. I tried opening ipod updater and it said there was a harddrive failure. But the iPod isnt broken since it worked on the g5s at the apple store, and my girlfriend's computer. I tried plugging it in my usb1.1 port and still got the same results.

Next problem is with a external firewire harddrive. When i plug it in you can see the drive on "My Computer" but can't access it. i tried formating it through Computer Management but after awhile i would get a error saying Logical Disk Manager: The format did not complete successfully.

I had sp 2 running, then took it off and still got the same problems. Any solutions?

edit: ok this is werid because i plugged in the hd to my usb 2.0 card(external enclosure has fw and usb) and it works. That is werid.
