DFI Lanparty SLI-DR USB 2.0 problems...

[t33lo]

Hi, i have the DFI Lanparty SLI-DR Mobo and i want to hook up my external hd to it. It says that when I plug it in, "a hi-speed device is plugged into a non hi-speed usb hub". this board has 6usb 2.0 ports, so why is it saying this? The cd that came with the motherboard does not have any usb drivers on it. I am lost

Easy fix. Make sure you have at least Windows SP1 installed. USB 2.0 is not supported without SP1 or 2. After that put the motherboard driver CD in your drive. Next open the device manager (right-click on My computer->properties->hardware->device manager). There should be a USB host with a yellow question mark next to it. Right click on this and select update driver. Allow Windows to automatically search for the driver. It will find the driver on the CD and install it. It will be called Standard Enhanced USB host or something like that. Problem solved.

yep sounds like the fix it is what i do all the time for peoples pc that have the same problem

Not sure why they didn't just include that driver on the main driver install program. Having to manually install that stuff can be frustrating.

Hi,

The USB 2.0 driver comes in Windows XP Service Pack 1 and higher. If you have a Service Pack installed you shouldnt need the driver disc that came with your motherboard... just go into Device Manager, find the USB entry with an exclamation against it, right click on it and click 'upodate driver'. Follow the wizard through (just click ok to all the options) and it should set up your USB for you automatically.

Thanks,
Andrew Griffin.
