k7vme usb 2.0 problem

External Since: Nov 27, 2005 Posts: 1

I just purchased a usb 2.0/firewire external hard drive. when I first
plugged it in, it basically froze. I tried to view an avi file off of
the drive and i viewed about 2 fps. I installed an external
firewire/usb 2.0 card but had the same problem. I am running xp sp2
and updated all the drivers. Any ideas? Tx.

i have/had a sy-kt600 ultra platinum and just replaced it with a sy-kt880. i had the same problem with getting my western digital firewire/usb2 120g hd/encloser to work on it too. once in a while it would had a drive letter but couldn't read any info on the drive. mostly it just wouldn't load the drivers correctly. i had the front bay one box installed in another rig so i couldn't try the firewire. i may do a bench setup on the kt600 and see what happens with the firewire but i figure i'll have the same results as you.

whether a fresh install of windows would solve the problem is just another option.

i just plugged it in on the kt880 and as with my other rigs, it works.
