| 355401 | 2005-05-15 09:31:00 | Good evening everyone. :) I,m having difficulty with an external 80GB USB hard drive. When I connect it the pc recognises it in "My Computer" as H:drive, but when trying to click on it to access files, it freezes for about 5 secs, then says "H: drive is not accessible. Request could not be performed because of an I/O device error". Its only started happnening since I reinstalled XP home a few weeks ago(system was getting boggish after 18 months of running). Before that it was reading & writing to my boys mates external hard drive fine. Have tested said external hard drive on 2 other pc's, and works perfectly. Updated to latest motherboard driver, but did not make a change. Tried all 6 usb ports to no avail. Tried disabling anti-virus, no good. Tried doing it in safe mode, no good. My mother board is Via P4MA Pro 533 series www.fic.com.tw Anyone else have any suggestions on what could be the cause?? :confused: |

| 355403 | 2005-05-15 10:02:00 | Yes, installed SP2 also. I also tried updating usb drivers via "Device manager", but said I had newest ones. |

| 355406 | 2005-05-15 10:13:00 | Try it on another PC. Was it working before? (Just to eliminate the drive itself as the problem) | pctek (84) | ||
| 355407 | 2005-05-15 10:19:00 | After reformatting did you reinstall the motherboard chipset drivers? The default Windows ones may not be optimum. |

| 355408 | 2005-05-15 10:20:00 | Have tested it on three seperate pc's other than mine. Worked like a charm on all three. (One system was Win XP, other two were Win 2000) |

| 355409 | 2005-05-15 10:23:00 | You could always scan for viruses/spyware/adware etc and see if that makes a difference, probably wont but you never know | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 355410 | 2005-05-15 10:24:00 | Yes, reinstalled chipset drivers from Via motherboard site, and just updated to latest drivers again. (Version - 4.56v,12 April 2005) |
