I have tried every which way with the BIOS settings. The main board of my PC is of Biostar-make with the latest in BIOS version installed. Besides trying out all the possible permutations and combinations of USB Fast/Low speeds and Hi-Speed options, I also invoked the "Optimized BIOS defaults". All without result. The only other option which still remains, is to have a USB 2.0 PCI card installed and hope that it works. |

The only other option which still remains, is to have a USB 2.0 PCI card installed and hope that it works. UPDATES: 1. Installed a USB 2.0 PCI card. Results remain the same. (I was really surprised to see this.) 2. I normally use a Transcend 8GB flash drive. All the problems hovered around this flash drive. Just for controlled experimentation purposes, I took this flash drive to my office and had it connected to one of the Hi-Speed USB ports of my Dell PC. I was shocked to see that my office PC came out with the same message. 3. I, therefore, concluded that the problem probably lay with the Transcend 8GB flash drive. My doubts were further fortified when I inserted another 1 GB Transcend flash drive onto my home PC and found that no such message was being reported and the transfer rates were really as fast as a Hi-Speed transmission ought to be. 4. Over the weekend, I plan to do the following to narrow down the possibilities: (a) Install the recovery software from Transcend website and carry out recovery procedures on the Transcend 8GB flash drive. (b) Download the latest version of BIOS for my Biostar mainboard and install it. I will keep posting the developments as and when they happen per the above plans. Thanks in advance. |
