External HD slow to be detected
I'm using a win2k machine with a brand new USB 2.0 compatible external 200GB
hard drive that I plug into my USB 2.0 port. It takes sometimes 30 minutes to recognise its there and open up the drive! I've tried plugging it into other USB ports and when I disconnect it, I do so using the Unplug or Eject Hardware interface. I've also tried scanning for new hardware which doesn't work, disk management interface doesn't spring it into action either and the rescan disks option seems to do nothing. There's no problems with the general system whilst I add the HD like freezing and I am an administrator of the machine. I tried using the drive on a win XP machine and it worked instantly so this is very peculiar! Any known remedies? |
