External USB Harddrive problem...
I have a Maxtor One Touch 120gb external hardrive. It's been running fine
until now. Whenever i turn it on now i get this error message "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." It recommends I disconnect the device and try again, but that doesn't work. I've uninstalled the drivers and software and reinstalled it, but I keep getting the same message. Does anyone know what I should do? Could it be that I might have to edit some values in the registry? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. |

Luis, disconnect all the USB devices and then rt click on
MyComputerselect PropertiesHardwareDevice ManagerUSB Controllers. Expand and rt click on each one and choose Uninstall. Restart and let WinXP reinstall them. Reconnect all your USB devices.

One PC has exactly the same error message as Luis R, and has never worked, however it works fine with my Vaio laptop so I know that it is not the iRiver. Tim |
