Yesterday one strange problem occurred in my laptop. I
booted to vista for weekly backup. I have a Transcend external hard drive as
well Seagate. The laptop has only 3 USB ports and I do not have a USB hub. The
Transcend drive has two USB cables one for data and one for power. The other
port was occupied by mouse. I had to plug out mouse for make room SeaGate hard
drive.
As soon as I removed USB mouse, the windows started
complaining about USB device malfunction. However SeaGate drive was detected
while plugging both Transcend and mouse windows gave repeated errors. I
rebooted and again problem was there. I did hard reboot nope again the problem
persists. I booted to my xubuntu box, the same problem. ‘dmesg’ showed ‘Unable
to enumerate USB device’. I got confused. The boot process took very long time.
I was not able to check even bios due to CPU hog (by whom?).
