Howdy,

Yes, I appologize for posting this question in this forum. But I feel it's most relevant here.

I have installed Windows 2003 Server on P3 1gig. I have a USB 2.0 hard drive that I store my mp3's on. My problem is that w2003s does not recognize the drive, I have even tried two different usb2.0 controllers. To verify my hardware, I slapped another hd in the system and loaded Win XP and the drive functions perfectly.

So to summarize. I am having trouble getting my Maxtor external USB 2.0 HDD to be seen in Windows 2003 Server.

TIA for any help yall can provide,
Josh

Nope, sorry.

I just built a new PC (Shuttle XPC) and decided to try my problem out in it. Guess what, it still didnt work. I put XP on there and the HD worked fine. It seems to be a problem with W2K3S.

Are you using the evaluation version or an OEM/RETAIL verson?

Thanks
Josh

Well, I just installed a gigabit network in the house and will be using the server box as a web/ftp/email/dhcp/domain server. I have all my mp3's and movies on an external hd, so you can see my desire to hook it up to the server. The only real reason I'm setting up the domain is to require authentication for wireless users.

Perhaps with a SP M$ will have this problem fixed, although I would think that they would have caught this already in their "debug" sessions.

Thanks for the replies,
Josh

I guess I should have mentioned that I already tried using XP drivers. I contacted Maxtor and they said that MS were responsible for the drivers... hmm.
