Howdy,

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

Hi, there. I have a similar problem, but I am several days behind you in finding the solution. Did you manage to find one?

Thanks for any info

I am using the evaluation version and I know that the problem is strictly related to W2K3 and USB2 external devices. But I don't know how to work around it.

Probably I do not have the required drivers, but where to find them?

Thanks anyway,

Hobb

you can simply turn the 2003 server version into a workstation, however some things do not work (or at least i cannot get them to work)

as for the reason for such experiments - i have my comp running 24/7 and the increased stability of w2k3 is always welcome, the speed of this OS is presumably favourable in comparison to XP (but I did not run the benchmarks myself)

Could you be a little bit more specific, PenDragoN? How would you find and install the right XP drivers for a USB2 external disk storage device? I am a layman in this field, so I would appreciate any help.
