I have just install Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2. I bought a
USB2 external harddrive. I realize my Motherboard's built-in USB slots are
not USB2. So I went to Fry's and bought a PCI USB adapter card. I installed
it, meaning I installed the drivers when it said new hardware found. It
asked me to restart the PC so I did. Once the computer turned on and
running, i turned on the external usb2 hard drive and my computer froze. My
house and keyboard froze. What should I do??? I restarted and windows xp
did not load up. I even turned off the hard drive and it still did not load
up windows xp. Once I took out the card it ran beautifully. What should i
do. I even bought another brand of PCI USB 2 adapter and it still did not
work. Anyhow let me know if you guys have any tips.
