Can I access my external hard drive through 2.0 USB PCI card rather than 1.1 motherboard via DOS?, tryitoz
Have a Compaq machine with 2 built in 1.1 USB ports (on motherboard).
I can boot to DOS with a Win 98 DOS boot disk. This allows me to access all Fat 32 files on my hard drives. I have an ASPI driver that allows me to access my USB ports (external hard drive) while in DOS mode. Can the 520 product be accessed while in DOS mode? Should I disable my USB support in my CMOS?This is so that it disables 1.1 USB ports but hopefully will allow access to your 2,0 USB PCI card and associated drivers. I have been told that in some instances you MUST not disable the USB support of the computer even if you add a 2.0 card. But then I was told if you boot to DOS, then the system will recognize the first USB ports (1.1) on motherboard and not the PCI card USB 2.0 ports. Why am I asking this? I have a removable/external 2.0 USB hard drive connected to a 1.1 USB port. I want to have it run at 2.0 speed. I must be able to access this under DOS for disaster recovery in the event I cannot boot to Windows. This is critical. In this manner I can use Symantec Ghost to restore my data to my internal hard drives. I currently can do this with my 1.1 ports under DOS but not sure this will hold true with a PCI card. Thanks so much Peter |
