Default USB 2.0 Upgrade for Presario 5002US

Hi:

I just installed a 2.0 USB PCI card. My 1.1 devices work fine through
the card, but the Lacie 2.0 USB 250GB HD is not recognized by the
computer. If I plug the HD into a 1.1 port, the computer can see the
drive. The card was bought at compusa.com- it's an ALI. Installing
the drivers didn't seem to do anything.

Is there something else I need to do to enable USB 2.0 other than the
card driver? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

TIA!

Should work. Nothing magical. What OS?

Sorry for omitting....XP.

I agree that it should be easy, but I'm pulling my hair out.

Does the card have enough power for the drive? Is there external power
available for the drive?
