'USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned' Error withWestern Digital's External USB drive...
Hi,
I am using Western Digital's 120GB Passport (External USB drive). Model Number: WD 1200XMSC It was working fine with my Dell laptop (Windows Vista-Home Basic) and my Office PC (Win XP). I was able to copy files from Laptop/ PC to HDD and vice-versa. One worst day, I printed some pics on my Home Canon IP4000 Printer by commenting it to USB port. When printing was done I removed Printer connection and shutDown the laptop. Next day when I Attached my WD External drive I got this Error saying -"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message." When I clicked the message I got A DialogBox stating USB's status as Unknown USB device!!! With my fingers crossed, I tried connecting my WD HardDisk to my Office PC(Win XP). I got the same Error. Can anybody please help me here? ++Thanks P.J. Soni _____________ |
