I posted this earlier this week too.
I have an HP Pavillion with an AMD Athlon 1900+ 1.6GHz running WIN XP Home edition.
I recently purchased a 300gb hard drive from Seagate and I needed a firewire / USB 2.0 for the drive. I first purchased a cheap Q-stor Firewire PCI card that shut my CPU down whenever I started up the external drive. The card was recognized by the CPU, but the shutdowns were unavoidable. After the shutdown the CPU could not fully boot to Windows with the card installed. I would take the card out of the PCI slot and it worked fine.
I now have a D-link PCI USB 2.0 / Firewire combo card that is not recognized by my system at all. The driver that came with the box installed fine, but still no card...
AGH!
What do I need to do so that I can start using my new external drive with my CPU?
All suggestions are welcome.
Many thanks.
