I have been using a removable hdd with a clone PIII that supports USB 1.1.
The HDD has been working just fine until I installed activesync in the PC and started synchronizing my phone. Now, the PC does sees the USD device (when I connect the HDD) but does not recognize it as a drive and it does not show in the explorer as it use to do.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the usb devices in the device manager and reboot the pc and still does not work. When I connect the hard disk the pc sees it as Unknown USB device.
