Hoi Geeks

[Mr JP Fugley]

Why is my computer telling me that external hard drives will perform fater if I connect them to high speed ports.

WTF is that about.

[Alien5]

fater?

[Skweeky]

It's trying to be helpful

A bit like the memo thingie Vimes has

[Barbarossa]

USB 2.0 capable devices are connected to a USB 1.1 hub?

Mine did it too, until I pissed in the floppy drive, then it stopped.

[Mr. Mulder]

maybe it means a usb2 port of maybe it has aids lol?

[Workcheese]

fater?

Sounds like an opera. I disapprove of my external hard drives performing Madam Butterfly whilst I'm putting porn on them. :dry:

[Mr. Mulder]

Barbie! :fist:

[Snee]

'cos someone at microsft can't spell the word "faster"?

:unsure:

Either that or because you've got a usb 2.0-compatible device connected to a 1.1-port :idunno:

[Mr. Mulder]

maybe he's got a usb 2.0-compatible device connected to a 1.1-port or even USB 2.0 capable devices are connected to a USB 1.1 hub? :unsure:

[Barbarossa]

Hoi JP, Check if you've got USB 2.0 compatible devices connected to a USB 1.1 hub, or ports. :smilie4:

[Mr JP Fugley]

The devices hubs and ports are all usb2.

It be a mystery

[Snee]

Or it's some sort of usb 2.0-device-connected-through-a-1.1-interface type of deal.

Who knows?


Or it may be aids.


EDit: Maybe you need to update the drivers for the usb-controller, in case ones from before you installed xp sp1 are left.

[manker]

It's probably that the device is connected to a usb 1.1 port wheras the device is also compliant with a 2.0 port.

You might wanna check with some other folk, tho'.

[Barbarossa]

Have you pissed into the floppy drive yet :blink:

[manker]

The devices hubs and ports are all usb2.

STFU, n00b.

We told you what was wrong. Just fix it already.



FFS, I don't know why I bother trying to help people.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Have you pissed into the floppy drive yet :blink:

Not got one.

I can buy one and piss in it if you think it'll help

[Mr. Mulder]

sounds like the BIOS needs flashing, try clearing your cache too, hope this helps.

[Snee]

Check my edit above.

[Mr JP Fugley]

I'm going to log of the intererwebs and try doing stuff.

[Barbarossa]

EDit: Maybe you need to update the drivers for the usb-controller, in case ones from before you installed xp sp1 are left.

Oooh, that's good.

Yes, do that.



Then try the pissing thing. :)

[Snee]

Oooor, you can try what I said, in case your xp-install didn't come with SP1 in from the beginning.


(@ JP)

[Mr JP Fugley]

Sorry, it came with XPSP2 pre-installed.

[Snee]

k, then it's aids.

[Alien5]

dissconect everything and throw the whole machine out of the window, make sure you carry it upstairs first.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Can someone quote Allen, he's still on ignore because of the wide page things.

[Barbarossa]

He didn't say anything helpful. :dabs:


I'd still remove all the USB from hardware devices and let windaes reinstall all the drivers. Worth a punt.
