Hi,

I have an Omni external case with a 40GB HD in it. When attached to my XP box
it is fine, no messages just the usb join sound and it is fine, however..

When I attach it to my wife's XP, I always get the Add Hardware Panel when i
boot up with it attached.

I select the Recommended find drivers but it never does so I have to cancel out.

Why does it do this? How can I stop it doing it?

Thanks

Rock
 
Try downloading the chipset installation utility for that board,go to the mfg
web site (intel,amd,etc)...

Ah ha.. maybe that will do it, tho' it is strange it is not with her XP as it
is on my box and we bought the XP's at the same time. Anyway I'll give that a try.

Thanks
