[SGVLUG] Not-so-quick question 1

[Mic Chow]

I have not personally experienced this error.  However, with some
Google-fu I see this is a common error in Windows.  I am going to guess
you are getting this error in Windows?  So this is on a laptop, right?
Is the USB port on the laptop a USB 1.1 or a USB 2.0 port?  What is BD?
 I am guessing that you have a single USB port on your laptop and you
are using a USB hub.  Is the USB hub powered or not?  Is the hard disk
in the enclosure an IDE or a SATA drive?  Out of curiosity what all USB
devices do you have attached on this single chain?  Have you tried
putting the USB drive on a single USB port by itself to test?

I am worried I have a more general problem with my computer as I abuse its USB bus.  I currently have 8 USB devices hung off a 10' USB extension.  On the other hand my BD reader can plug away alongside the USB1 mouse with no problems....
