    Going from USB1.1 to 2.0 question

    Hello. What is the process from going from USB1.1 to USB 2.0? I've heard that the only way to do it is to buy a card, but I thought you could do it by upgrading the BIOS? I have a Dell Latitude cpia400xt laptop with USB1.1. I have an external hard drive, but it only has a usb2.0 connection. My laptop doesn't recognize the external drive. Any help in configuring windows to see my external would be highly appreciated.

    Sorry you heard wrong. The hardware has to be usb2 compliant. There were cases where the usb2 fix in Windows XP hadn't been applied so the ports only worked at 1.1....

    Check your specs, if it says USB - it means 1.1 it will say USB 2 if it is.
