Device not recognized - Nero Burn

Update:

I decided to try something completely different..... First off I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 Notebook that has only 2 built-in USB connections. I run most of my USB connections through a D-Link DUB-H7 Hub and like I said have had no real problems until recently.

Everyhing from my Secondary HD, DVD Burner, Web cam to my printer live and depend on this connection. Coming to think of it I should have realised this might be the problem sooner as I had more than a few problems with my printer a few days ago, I continue to drop my internet connection, cannot burn to any disc....... and more besides.

Luckily I have an Adaptec PCMIA duo card also which takes 2 x USB connections and a 1364 connection (useless under SP2 - thank you Microsoft for that one!). Right now I am online obviously and I repeated the exercise in the post above and right now the process is at 91% and running smoothly it seems..... I have my burner connected directly to the PC and my secondary HD where the source folder lies connected through the Adaptec card.......... Lovely!!!

Brings me back nce again to the point that (excuse me please) that the latest round of Microsoft XP patches are F*****g with usb connectors now - it wasn't enough for them to render 1394 completely useless and just leave it at that!

Does the D-Link run of Firmware dependancies?........ I can't find out anything about it having surfed to this end for around 2 hours last night..... I have reset the hub a number of times in the past few days too with zero effect! No Idea therefore how to troubleshoot the problem further let alone fix it!


Creaky - that said a disc has finally burned succesfully. Maybe I'll now brave it and have another go for the 'big one' with this hookup. Thanks a million for your help buddy! I guess I got my ASPi fixed for one thing......

I will of course check back here for any thoughts you might have on the USB2 problem and to yell 'yay' or 'nay' on the DL burn....

Remember - watch your backs! Microsoft are after you with daggers. Maybe they're once more try to convince us of the uselessness of XP and it's vulnerabilities and try to convince us all that 'Hasta la Vista' is somehow going to be better! What suckers we all are, eh???

 

Hi Creaky,

Seems as if things are kind of 'burning' fine right now - any thoughts you might like to pitch in on the USB Hub end of things. I cannot find anything on the net relating to how to troubleshoot peripherals that suddenly stop performing properly when connected to the laptop or PC via a hub.

As mentioned it s more that a hunch that yet again Microsoft's 'security' updates have destroyed more functionality than anything these 'brilliand wonders' might potentially have fixed.......

I'm quite sure the only reason why the laptop can see my USB2 connections over the PCMIA is that it employs a different mode of communication with the USB devices than he hub

I serioulsy doubt Microsoft will ever get it right.

Thank's for helping out - even if the route we went down was the wrong one - at least I was able to find I had a problem with my ASPI Systems device and was able to repair that into the bargain.

Cheers for now!
