Hello,

I have a friend with Windows XP, hes having major problems with external USB hard drives. Whenever he plugs one in windows brings up the error 'The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable' even on his iPod. They all work fine on other PC's.

It's an old KT266 motherboard with USB1.1, plus he has a USB 2.0 VIA PCI card. I've tried reinstalling/updating to the latest VIA drivers, no conflicts or errors in device manager. Other USB devices work perfectly fine....

Anyone got any clues before I format the git.
 
Should had mentioned before. It was working just fine, then one day...it wouldn't. It was quite a while ago and he didnt tell me else I would had done a system restore.
