Usb issue.

Theist · 02-07-2009, 01:59 PM

Ok, I am at a loss for what to do. Whenever I plug in my maxtor 750gig harddrive(or either of my other 2 external harddrives) I get the wonderful message.(This device can perform faster if plugged into a usb 2.0 slot. I ignored it and tried to move a 2gig movie on to it and its starts at 60mbps and gets half way done and then freezes and slows down to 50kpbs. I tried a ton of things.
I tried every USB port on my motherboard(same message for all)
I updated my Nforce drivers at Asus.
I went into bios and made sure legacy controller and usb 2.0 was enabled.
I uninstalled my Host Controllers and made sure they reinstalled.
Installed all possible windows updates.

Here are my specs.
Vista 64bit Edition
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX
4 Gigs of Ram

This is what it says under Universal Serial Bus Controllers:(
-Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
-Standard OPpenHCD USB Host Controller
-USB composite Device
-USB Root Hub
-USB Root Hub
-Mass Storage Device

Its driving me nuts and i could use any help i could get.
Thx

Hi -

Check the Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) and also WERCON (wercon.exe) for more detailed information on the USB problem. I have not encountered that message on a Vista system.

Regards. . .
