Hi, I’m facing a funny problem, I cant’ find a solution, hopefully someone can help. Thanks.
Recently I’ve bowwored a USB 2.0 External Hard Disk (2.5″, 160GB) from friend, i tested in my friend house under XP32 & Vista64, everything working well, when I connect it into my home PC, starting was Ok, I can see the drive detected under “My computer”, I even can create a new folder in Usb Ext HD. So, i start to copy files from internal SATA to Usb Ext HD, after quite some time it stopped copying by giving a msg something like “Error prevention. . . .”, now the big problem happened…
After that all the time this Usb Ext HD not working well anymore, even I shutdown & restart PC still facing the same problem, the problem is funny as stated below:
1) Sometime, Usb Ext HD was detected under my computer, but when u try to double-click the drive, it has no respond for a long time, I can’t access the drive.
2) I wait for a long time finally i’m managed to access it, the folder or files listed was not complete.
3) The whole PC system was slow down, even I access other internal drive take a long time or no respond BUT when I disconnect Usb Ext HD, everything back to normal.
Virus scanning has been done, no virus found in this Usb Ext HD.
I’ve tested the same scenario under XP32 & Vista64, both having the same problem. But when I tested again in my friend PC every thing Ok. I even re-partitioned, re-format the SATA internal harddisk, re-install XP32 & Vista64 still can’t manage to solve it.
In Bios, the Usb setup as below:
Usb 1.1 enabled
usb 2.0 enabled
Usb Speed Hi-Speed (480Mbps/sec)
Pls help
Thank you.
