[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 387940, member: 13534"] Ahhhhh, Now then... The external usb hard drive [i have had it a few years] came with a "Y" shaped lead and the instructions said you might have to plug it into two ports at the same time.. It always worked ok on the one port on the old computer though. I should try it plugged into two ports at the same time although i am scared now as to what might happen... Could i damage the computer??? At the moment it has just finished formatting an external drive that has USB2 written on it although it is in a USB3 port, but this drive has its own power supply, whereas the one that did not work, did not... You all might be onto something here......!!! john.. [/QUOTE]
