Hi there...I'm a Mac user, with a Sony VAIO running XP
Home that is primarily used for audio/video purposes
(Sony Professional rep).

The LCD fried on my iBook so I am using the VAIO for
business on the road, or trying to.

I transferred my docs from the iBook to a USB
2.0/FireWire drive. When I plug it in to either USB port
on the VAIO I get the dialog box indicating that it will
run at slower speed. But it does not show up anywhere on
the computer.

When I go into the hardware wizard it indicates that the
device is enabled, but I still can't find it anywhere to
get hold of my files.

Any tips? Thanks!

Could you attach it via the Firewire port? Mine works
that way and also via usb 2 pcm add-on card. Sometimes
you have to boot with the usb drive connected and then
unplug and replug the usb cable after the machine boots
up. Might be a security setting also.
