External Hardrive problem? Fast Answer needed :)

[harris1986]

Hi guys, i recently got a Maxtor 80gb external hard drive, and connected everything up fine, but when i plug the usb in to my computer i get a message saying that it is plugged into a non usb 2.0 port? now i'm guessing that i need to install a usb 2.0 driver controller but can anyone link me to one or have any other ideas?

well i tried the drivers disk with my motherboard and it says that as i have windows sp2 installed on my comp i don't need to install the drivers :S?

haha thanks steve it's ok, mite try the same problem in the motherboard forum, it's not asthough i have a lot plugged into usb on my motherboard either, all i have is Razer Copperhead mouse, webcam (yes i know i'm vain), and the hard drive is the third. even when i go into device manger it doesn't show that i have Enhanced usb, i have tried installing the drivers that came with the cd to no avail, i am getting a new motherboard soon, so will install usb 2.0 drivers before i install windows xp sp2 and see whether it's just sp2 being retarded
