RE: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

Sorry, I thought I had mentioned that. Yes, I have tried drives that cause the lockup on this server on a different server, where they work as expected. I didn't run any disk utilities on them, though. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~

RE: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

I didn't see you mention it but... have you tried plugging the Drives into another machine? If you can - try runing some utilities on the drives too check for file corruption (maybe even try a chkdsk /F if possible - can't hurt to try). ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resourc

RE: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

The customer has multiple drives of the same type and the behavior occurs when any of them are connected to the server. I also verified it will happen with some brand new drives they recently purchased for use with a different server. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource h

RE: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

Re: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

I have an old Dell 2500 that would blue screen anytime you plug in a USB external HD. Did some searching and found out that the USB port was not able to handle the drives. On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 1:18 PM, Jeff Bunting wrote: > Does the USB drive have any of its own special drivers? I have a Lac

Re: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

Does the USB drive have any of its own special drivers? I have a Lacie external drive that has a "USB Boost" driver that enables it to transfer faster. Works fine on my XP workstation, but I did have a problem with explorer hanging on a Win2003 server I used it on. Jeff On Fri, May 21, 2010 at

Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

I have a customer with an IBM xSeries 235 server with Windows Server 2003 they have been using for several years. They use external USB hard disk drives for their backup and recently, whenever they connect one to the server, it causes most functions on the server to freeze up. The keyboard and
