external harddrive problems

since the problem only occurs when i go into the subfolders, you think if i put all the files on the root of the ex.hdd it'll work?

 

not yet cuz im using the usb for somestuff. Will try it later though.

 

Probably best to try uninstalling the usb ports as ddp mentioned. Do it in less than 5 mins.

 

tried it and i got the same problem. But i think i find why it happens. I have 3 folders in the root of the hdd and i can explore all of them except for the one with my psp backups. I'm thinking there is a file or some sort of corruption that causes it to crash. You think i should just delete that folder? It should help and i can always back up the games again.

 

Just a quick question: My external HD works smoothly and has so for sometime now, recently my Laptop has been giving me the message that the USB device can perform at a higher speed then it currently is. I have tried playing with the USB settings and the only way I have found to get it working is to disable the USB 2.0 ports and allow it to connect to the slower USB ports. I am thinking this is a motherboard and or BIOS problem, can anyone confirm or deny this? Also the same problem occurs with my IPOD, when USB 2.0 enabled it won't recognize the device, when disable it works but the message letting me know it can run faster appears.

THANKS-

 

jctech6: it's worth a try, I reckon there's some sort of corruption in there.
NSD: Which service pack do you run? Have you reinstalled your USB 2 drivers?

 

just got it fixed. Deleted that folder and everything is in working order. Thanks everyone

 

Fair enough. Solution:Back it up!

 

Sorry about the delay, I am currently running service pack 2. I have played with the USB drivers several times with no avail.
