USB 2.0 conflict with ADS drive kit and HP external dvd burner
I just purchased an ADS dual link drive kit (usb & firewire connectors). I
have found that I cannot have this drive kit plugged in at the same time as my hp 300e dvd writer if both are using usb 2.0connections. Doesn't seem to matter which usb port I use (my Intel MB has 6 ports). If I unplug the dvd, the ADS drive works fine when I attach it. If the dvd is plugged in first and then the dual drive is plugged in, XP says the usb device is not recognized for the drive kit. If I plug the ADS drive in by itself, it works ok. If the dvd is plugged in second, then I get delayed write failures accessing the hard drive in the ADS drive kit. If I plug the ADS into a usb 1.0 hub, it seems ok too except for the low speed warning (plugging 2.0 device into 1.0 usb port). Any ideas how to have both working on usb2.0? The drive in the ADS case is a Western Digital 180G, 8M Special Edition drive. HP says no problem on their side since the dvd writer works ok. -- Phil Tomaskovic Please remove NOSPAM from email return address. |
