Title: Motherboard and usb problems
Post by: mod75 on September 23, 2008, 06:59:18 PM
Sure can use some help here.
Using a ESC L7VMM3  V3.0C  motherboard, Win xp pro sp2
80 gig hd  C: 65 gig D: 14 gig   duron 1.8 .
All is well? everything works ok, problem is all the usb ports WILL work with a keyboard,
mouse, camera,
 BUT when a jump drive or external cd/dvd drive is plugged in xp says there may be a problem.
The drive does not show up in my computer, device manager just says device not recognized under usb. 
The usb ports did recognize jump drives and hd sometime back, but cant think of what happened.
Have tried different hd, xp pro 2008 sp3 install. all updates for xp and m/b.
The root of the problem is that xp will not add a drive letter to the devices, the 80 gig has C: & D:
E: is the cd burner, have changed E: to O: in hopes of xp using the extra letters but on good.
Out of ideas now,  any suggestions or help welcome.
Thank you
