ok
i bought quite a few things from Comex.
1 USB Hub
1 LAptop Cooling pad
1 80gb external HDD
1 mouse
ok
here is the problem
when connecting my USB HUb to laptop, and my mouse to the hub, the
mouse doesnt work. but the cooling pad actually works. and the hub
actually lit up.
i went over to my desktop CPU and tried the hub. it worked. my
keyboard attached to it could be used.
so what does this mean? that my laptop not drawing enough power to
power the hub? any suggestions? could it be the driver problem or
something? but the hub no give any disc. and it is also labeled as
unknown device in my device manager.
problem 2.
external HDD cannot be formatted. it will keep formating and say
format not completed successfully or something like that. then on
my laptop, it cannot install the drivers. on my cpu however, the
drivers are installed. both system are XP. but prior to the driver
installation failure on my laptop, it had no problems installing
the drivers until i format it once, where it failed. after which i
pull the plug out and plug in again, but this time on, the drivers
failed to be installed. even after repeated attempts of
uninstallation. even uninstallation also cannot do. so i got v
pissed.
the installation part hangs at the disk.sys file. while
uninstallation just hangs the whole laptop.
any ideas?
