Not really enough info to go on. What operating system and service pack?
What disk size? Do all USB devices behave this way or just one. Do the
devices work elsewhere? Are the mobo chipset drivers installed? Laptop?
Desktop?

All my devices worked in FAT32 - I converted in NTFS to use with that
computer - They work good in FAT/FAT32 AND NTFS on others PC

I don't know. Other PC of the same model hasn't the same problem. Other PC
winth Win2000 sp4 work well
It's a desktop OLIDATA

PS - what's mobo chipset and how can I verify if it's installed ?
