Hi all,
new to this forum but it seems you people all help each other very much
Ok, I have a very peculiar problem.
I have WinXP SP2 with all patches and hotfixes.
ABIT Fatal1ty M/B, P4 3.2GHz, 1GB RAM (Dual Channel - 2x512MB), 7 SATA drives, NVidia 6200 vga etc etc.
My USB ports were functioning well, prior to patching my Bios with the latest release from Abit. After that, I can read and print to USB devices, but when I write (even a folder with 10-15 small files e.g. MP3's) I get huge delays and eventually I have to unplug with USB H/D enclosure and ofcourse get the "Delayed Write Failed" error (sometimes I get a "Path Too Deep" error).
The same error occurs to USB Sticks as well (USB-HD is NTFS, USB-STICK is FAT32).
I tried all sorts of things, patches, tweaks etc, nothing happened. I then "downgraded" my BIOS to the earlier version, but *STILL* the error is there.
I want to note that I have a lot of applications like Alcohol120%, CloneCD/DVD etc.
My mouse is NOT USB (I say that because I read somewhere that a USB mouse might make the USB bus "busy" and writing operations might fail).
I am desperate, this thing has been puzzling me for the past 15 days and I dont have anything else to try.
EDIT: > I already scavenged the web and this forum for solutions, and tried everything I thought might be applicable that were suggested by people at this forum and elsewhere, with no success.....
Any help, MUCH appreciated,
Chris
