| 279828 | 2004-10-10 08:52:00 | HI all My Cd writer ( external ) USB2 doesnt seem to be working on my computer it can read fine but when i try and burn a disk it does like 20% and then just sits there - i left it for ages and nothing happened. It is USB 2 compatible and my new computer has this ( motherboard = Gigabyte GA-7n400 pro2 ). The werid thing is that it works on my laptop which has usb 1. I have tried a variety of cd buring apps and lowering the write speed but the same thing always happens Any Idea ? Thanks |

| 279830 | 2004-10-10 11:14:00 | Are you using a USB 2 cable? Cheers Murray P |

| 279831 | 2004-10-10 19:13:00 | i would think so but i don't know - does it change things. Even if the cable is not USB 2 shouldn't work at USB 1 | ApeNz (4220) | ||
| 279832 | 2004-10-10 19:18:00 | Well if it isnt a USB 2 cable it wouldnt be running as fast as it should be. It DOES make a diff whether ur using a USB 2 or 1.1 cable. |

| 279833 | 2004-10-10 19:21:00 | So what you are saying is that because the cable is at 1.1 that means that it wont work | ApeNz (4220) | ||

| 279835 | 2004-10-10 19:29:00 | it has a external power pack which plugs into it | ApeNz (4220) | ||
| 279836 | 2004-10-10 19:37:00 | No it will still work. But it will AFFECT the speed if the cable is 1.1 (12mbps), not USB 2 (480 mbps), since USB 2 is WAY faster than 1.1. Thats a big difference in speed. |
