Comment:

I just bought a USB 120 gb drive which is USB 2.0 or 1.1 compatible. How do I find out what driver I have for USB in Win2k? If it is 1.1, how do I get 2.0? I have searched Microsoft, with no luck.

Thanks.

USB 2.0 is a new protocl, not a new driver. You will need to have a motherboard that has USB 2.0 ports, or an exapnsion card with USB 2.0 ports. (more than likely the latter will be your solution)

quick search of google gave this site for USB card (dont ask me for recommendations cuz I dont know!!!)

USB 2.0 is NOT supported in W2000 yet. There are updated drivers for USB 2.0 in windows XP at their update web site. M$ says they will have USB 2.0 drivers available in the future for W2K, and the "check's in the mail"!!!!!
