Re: Lockup problems with USB disks
Thank you. I took a look. I was just wondering if this was a known bug, is it normal, etc. Maciej Milewski wrote: Dnia wtorek 17 listopad 2009 o 15:18:22 David Jackson napisał(a): I have a USB hard drive.

Re: Lockup problems with USB disks
I apologise if this was posted more than once, for some reason the emails i sent were not reflected back to me, so i assumed they had not gone through , i checked the archive on the web page and they were there. For some reason some messages are not coming through on my gmail account. David Jackson wrote: I have a USB hard drive.
