That is not a stable setup from my experience and I know of NO CURE except to connect it to USB 2.0 on XP SP2.
Best of luck,

Hi everyone!
My comp Pentium 3, 600mgz, 256 RAM, Windows XP Pro.
I have my External Enclosure (support USB 1.1, 2.0; Firewire 1394A, 1394B) with 160gB inside. I use 1394A connection, have installed on my comp PCI card 1394A.
Everything works perfect until I have to restart the computer. After restart, my external drive (which is connected all the time and is "ON" permanently) disappear and to let the computer "find" it again I have to disconnect cable for a second or turn my external drive "OFF" and then back on. Right after that my comp behave normally - showing "safely remove hardware" sing on the toolbar and everything is fine until the next restart. The problem doesn't seem to be big, but I wonder if anything possible could be done to prevent unplugging.
Thanks for your help in advance
