my motherboard was recently changed. the old one allowed me to connect my maxtor external hard drive via either a usb or a firewire port. the new one permits the firewire connection but will not work with the usb port. the following was one message received "the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error". i've also received variations of that message when trying to work with the drive. my computer recognizes the presence of the drive but nothing more. i use xp home.
is it possible that the technician who installed the new motherboard might have installed windows in a manner different than what i had?
sure would appreciate help as i'm tearing out what remains of my hair.
thank you
