mpeters13 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Just thought I'd bring this up since it is a windows discussion forum. On various machines I've used in the past running windows xp and also for a number of different devices, I get the dreaded "usb device cannot be recognized" error message. Now I've googled and googled, and I've read different theories on this, but none really seem to match. Has anyone discovered why windows does this? For good measure I boot into OSX x86 and the devices usually work... (to date my Samsung sph-i500...) Just wanted some opinions on this.

The problem is not Windows: If you drive is OK, your hardware can USB 2.0 and your OS is correctly installed it should work. No matter if I use W2k, XP, OSX, Linux or Unix this must work (if hardware & OS are OK). Your problem is maybe a bad XP installation.
