YOur computer configuration sounds like it is too old to support USB 2.0.



>First, the particulars of my system:  Dell L800r desktop computer, 800
>MHz Pentium processor, 40 gig HD with 22 gigs free, WinME operating system.
>
>My problem:  I have, for years, used a 4 port powered USB 1.0 hub.  I
>have a USB scanner and an external 40 gig HD operating through the hub.
>Today, I installed an Iogear USB 2.0 PCI card, in hopes that I could
>transfer everything to the 4 external USB 2.0 ports on the card and get
>rid of the old hub.  So far, I haven't been able to get the computer to
>recognize the external 40 gig HD when it is plugged into the USB 2.0 PCI
>card.  It does not show up at all when connected to PCI card.  I tried
>to see it by going to DOS and using FDisk but FDisk does not find the
>drive either.  I shut down the system and plugged the external hard
>drive back into the 4 port hub and turned the system back on.  It showed
>up just like it had never been moved.
>
>I went into Device Manager and it shows both USB controllers:  the new
>PCI USB controller is shown as "USB 2.0 PCI to USB Enhanced Host
>Controller" while the USB hub shows the "USB Mass Storage Device."
>
>My problem is how can I change the equipment that I currently have
>operating through the USB to operate off the much faster USB 2.0 PCI card.
>
>Do I have to manually remove the devices one the USB hub in Device
>Manager before windows will recognize the same devices on the new USB
>PCI card?
>
>Any help would be greatly appreciated.
>
>BTW, I checked for a possible interrupt conflict and did not find any
>problems.
