USB FDD (Lacie Pocket USB FDD - Myfloppy3) not detected correctly
I am using vista ultimate, on Asus A8N-VM-CSM Motherboard. PC has no
floppy drive and I am attempting to use a USB Floppy drive (Lacie - Pocket USB FDD Myfloppy3). Upon connection nothing happens, a quick check in device manager indicates under USB controllers - standard openHCD USB Host Controller with an (!) exclamation mark. Properties show: ----- This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. ----- Clicking check for solutions provides nothing. The USB ports on the pc then fail to work until i uninstall all USB controllers from device manager and reboot. The USB ports work OK with a flash drive I have, and the floppy drive functions correctly on an XP PC I have. I can boot from a boot disk if I have it in the drive whilst the PC reboots. I have disabled as much as possible in both device manager and BIOS (onboard audio, onboard VGA, etc). When plugging the drive into an XP PC the drive is detected as a Y-E brand device. Lacie's website has no information regarding this, and the website for Y-E indicate that the device should work under vista, as it is natively supported by the OS Drivers. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction. Can someone point me the right direction. Thanks Steve |

Hi Steven,
Upon connection nothing happens Not so, something is happening, it's just not the right thing. There is some basic incompatibility going on here that is resulting in a resource conflict. Have you updated the BIOS to the latest instruction set from Asus. Checked with their support on Vista compatibility with this motherboard? You already know that the device works ok, and that your USB works ok otherwise with other devices. It may also be that the device requires a firmware update to run properly under Vista. Run System Information (msinfo32) and see what devices are conflicting when it fails (Hardware/Conflicts). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "steven" wrote in message news I am using vista ultimate, on Asus A8N-VM-CSM Motherboard.

Just ran msinfo32, and it appears that the standard openHCD USB Host Controller is sharing the same IRQ as the Sound Card. After work I'll remove it and let you know the results. As for drivers, etc, out of luck as ASUS in their infinite wisdom appear to not be supporting VISTA on this motherboard. Thanks Steve |

Hi,
May help just to move the sound card to a different slot. But, there may also be a basic BIOS incompatibility with Vista (which may be why it isn't supported in Vista). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "steven" wrote in message news On Sun, 15 Apr 2007 22:14:30 +1000, Rick Rogers wrote: Hi Steven, Upon connection nothing happens Not so, something is happening, it's just not the right thing.

I decided to remove the Sound Card so I wouldn't have to rearrange my IDE RAID Controller Card. With the Sound Card Removed I still receive the same problem. I think its a motherboard / Vista combination. I'm looking at upgrading in a few months, so until then I'll just find an ordinary FDD to use. I would like to thank you Rick, for your assistance.

att steve in regards to your FDD. i found that you can mount hard drive from old computer and asus mb will detect and read, and if you want to add FDD you need start up discs for your driver to run DOS. -- maridian |
