I wanted to upgrade my machine's USB functionality from 1.0 to 2.0 by installing an PCI expancion card. I installed a VIA USB PCI Host Adaptor since my Mobo is MSI 6330 ATX with a VIA chipset. Thought this card would comply well with the requirements of the VIA chipset. How wrong I was! I attached an external harddisk to one of the new USB ports and problems ensued from then on.
1.Only occationally is the removable (extern) disk detected. (shows up on My Computer) 2. When against all odds, it is detected and I right-click to look up properties, the the disk turns out to be full which clearly is false because I bought the disk quite recently and have not had the chance to write anything to it. 3. When rare occations the disk is detected and seems to be running ok, it freezes all of a sudden for no apparent reason. If anybody got any experience with this adaptor, good or bad, I would be most gratefull to share it with you. My machine is running windows XP professional 3 SP. Chipset is VIA KT133A (VT8363A & VT82C686B) Thank yoy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
