| 685376 | 2008-07-05 02:57:00 | Hi Guys, Am going mad! My external USB drive is plugged into the usb port of my computer, but the computer is not recognising it! when I go into device manager there is a yellow exclamation in front of it. I have tried to disable it and restart, no go, I have tried another USB cable...no go, I have tried to use a different port...no go! Helpppp!!! |

| 685379 | 2008-07-05 08:11:00 | Delete the ! and the entries under USB controllers in device manager, then reboot | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 685380 | 2008-07-05 08:24:00 | tried it, no go! | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 685381 | 2008-07-05 08:26:00 | Sounds like USB 2 is disabled in the BIOS then, if it wont work in any port Check the USB option in the BIOS Have you got anything else thats USB, that works?? If it does work, something in that external drive is probably stuffed |

| 685382 | 2008-07-05 08:28:00 | do you know how to do that? | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 685383 | 2008-07-05 08:30:00 | Go into the BIOS set it to the default settings. Look for the USB / 2 option, put it on highspeed I think. Save the BIOS settings / reboot I dont know what your system is, so cant tell u exactly where it is |

Just rebuilt my system and until I installed the latest PCI drivers for my new motherboard my usb's were set to usb1.1 |
