Here’s the problem:
If I plug one of my seven USB hard drives or enclosures (different brands)into my Vista Business system, an unknown device pops up in the device manager with error 1 “Device not configured properly.”
If I plug in any of the drives or enclosures before the system boots, Vista recognizes the drive and all is well. If I safely remove the same drive and replug it into vista I get the ‘unknown device’ problem again.
All these devices work just as advertised on WinXP.
I have tried many different USB ports on my system. USB flash memory cards work fine. All my other USB devices work.
I’d take a direct solution (which I haven’t found on the web after two days of trying) or a link to any clear and technical explanation of how USB storage devices are recognized in Vista.
Thanks!
