HDD is crazy on XP

by abcinte . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

Hi, I have an external HDD that used to work. Recently I have expirienced problems using it. When I plug in the device through the USB, I meet with unexpected behaivior and see diffrent results: usually, windows XP doesn’t respond at all, but sometimes it does respond but shows the message of Can’t recognize hardware. Other times it tries to install a driver, but stops with A problem occured message. Now what is weird that once it even succeedes to operate the device. So you may think it’s a problem with the extarnal HDD, however I have another computer running Vista and it does no problems when I want to use the drive.

I need to connect the drive to the XP, but how?

Thank you.
