It might not be, but I didn't know how to check, but thanks to george, I now know to look for the word 'highsppeed' under Universal Serial Bus controllers on the hardware tab in the control panel -

Hi George - have to say, this is what I thought to be the case. I'm trying to help a friend, who is running an oldish XP machine, probably with 1.1 USB ports, but not sure yet, cos don't know where to look in control panel for confirmation? He's bought an external HD, plugged it in, but it won't play. Firstly he got an error warning saying that the software was untested and to continue with the installation might cause damage; assuming this was the usual Microsoft scare mongering, he continued anyway, but apparently, the drive isn't showing up in My Computer.

Any observations?

Thanks -

Andy

I hate to disagree, Chris, but you can usually connect USB 2 devices
to a type 1 port, but will only get USB 1 speed.

No. However a USB 1.1 device will work on a USB 2.0 port. They are
backwards compatible. But not the other way round.

Hi all -

Will a high-speed 2.1 USB external hard drive run on an XP computer
whose ports are the old 1.1 speed? -
