Default Help with External hdd and USB 2.0 Card


Hi all,

I have recently purchased a new USB 2.0 PCI Card (Creative I/O) and
installed it on my desktop. As well I have bought a new maxtor 200 GB
harddrive along with an external enclosure (Sabrent). The harddrive was
set up on my laptop, which has usb 2.0 and everything works fine. But
when I plug my harddrive into the new USB card that I have installed on
my desktop, an error occurs when I try to access it and the error code
is something like "Cannot Access. Harddrive is corrupted or structure
is incompatible".

I was forced to format the harddrive on my laptop. After the format, I
checked the harddrive by plugging it into my laptop and the USB 1.1
ports that was on my desktop and it works fine. But as soon as I plug
it into the USB 2.0 ports, the error occurs again. I tried plugging
other devices into the new USB card, including my mouse, and everything
else seems to work fine. Can anyone suggest solutions? I assume my
harddrive should be fine because it works on my laptop....

Thanks
Phil
