I recently bought Maxtor 3100 portable HD, with USB connectivity and is supposed to be compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 . It should not need any driver when connected to XP computer. I have 2 computers one notebook and one desktop, both running XP pro. I have no problem using my HD on the notebook which easily recognized my HD when I plug it into one of the 1.1 USB ports. When I plug the HD to the USB port of the desktop (2.0), I get the message " One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it". When I take a look at the USB ports in the device manager, an "unknown device" is listed. Other hardware runs fine when connected to these same USB ports. What can I do?
