I recently purchased a Power Up 1GB MP3/WMA Player and USB Drive. I have  
used it to transfer data between 4 different computers of different makes with  
no problems, however,
when connecting it to my brothers computer (which I built) the drive isn't  
recognized and the display on the drive doesn't light up as it usually does. I  
know the computers usb ports are functional because both a mouse and a 
scanner  opperate on them. 
 
The site where I bought the drive claimed it was 2.0 but the box it came in  
claimed 1.0 and though the Soyo motherboard specs (SY-P4I865PE Plus DRAGON 2)  
say the ports are 2.0. I was under the impression this was backward  
compatible.  
 
Do any of you have any ideas of what else I can check or try or will I have  
to accept this as a case of incompatible hardware?
 
Many thanks,
-Phil-
