Yes I Did It And Im Back

HI ALL

my new stuff came today and for the first time i have built a whole system and i cant beleive it has booted with no problems at all hardware wise

now got

asus e deluxe mobo
512 dual channel ddr 3200 ram
leadtek 5900 gfx
barton xp2500
liteon 8x dvd writer
120 gig hard drive

and that nice lady on boot up said post ok now booting from operating system

i seem to have put th paste on ok aswell temps are
case=30
cpu=40 with aero7 on at just over half

but i have just one problem i cannot seem to get usb2 drivers on i read the text and it has just lost me so i downloaded the ones from asus clicked to install and it comes up saying the folowing

cannot find the usb storage device for this patch driver
please plug in your usb storage device

usb ports all work ok on normal but on my old system i remember seeing usb2 in the device manager now i just cant get it

Congratulations m8.

As for the USB 2 drivers are you running XP SP1 because I'm sure Microsoft include USB 2 drivers with SP 1 or one of the updates. I didnt have to install any motherboard specific USB 2 drivers on my system although its probably different on other boards.

Urm, nForce2, you installed SP1 right and then installed the drivers on nvidias website for your platform? If you have you shouldn't really need to do anything else... there're though and i'll warn you a fair few issues with USB2 on the nForce2 chipset especially with external drives but i'm sure you'll run into them all in time if you are an avid USB2 user, i'm sure many people have no problems at all but many people do... however it's still being worked on only recently Abit updated one of their nforce2 boards with USB2 compatibility enhancements so maybe Asus will follow suit.

Congrats on your first build btw.

well i havent got any usb 2 devices toput on anyways but i remember on my other system when i did the following

start>control panel>system>device manager>usb controllers open it up i use to see usb2 in there and also when i right clicked that usb controllers tab i would get a page come up with driver and software tabs

but it dosent on this just comes up blank with usb controller

i have my printer plugged in and its working ok so i wonder whats wrong

If it works dont sweat it m8 ;)

Sp1 is essential tho for USB2 to work, as has already been said. And congrats on a nice machine :)

well the usb normal works and i cant find anything that says usb 2 i have tried 4 different thins all using usb and work fine

so i may as well just wait till i get something usb2 but then again this mobo has 2 firewire ports and so does the front of my case


i was really worried about it not working i even got the wife to switch it on while i was in the other room lol

:p wuss ;) But I know what you mean, always a white knuckle moment! If my mrs turned it on it'b probably b0rk it.

It's working perfect, not every computer lists the exact same devices in device manager, obviously if the spec differs the items displayed in device manager will and also depend on the chipset what they're labelled as will also change. As someone else has already said if it's working stop worrying, aslong as you have no exclamation marks in device manager there's no need for concern.

Stop doubting yourself, you built your first machine and you've done it correctly.

it's not called USB2, it'll be called EHCI (or Enhanced Host Controller Interface, or similar)

OHCI and UHCI are USB1

congratulations mate, just hope my build goes as smoothly once i buy a gfx card.

Works fine on win2k sp4, its a winxp not chipset issue (though I know the drivers arnt perfect, in any way).

Seconded!

Well done fella! :cool:

It's a chipset issue, hence the limitation and inability to be able to boot from usb devices, www.nforcershq.com, read up.

The inability to boot up from USB devices is a BIOS issue as other nForce2 boards can do it.

also must have the usb2 then cuz i have three things

1 says standard enhanced pci controller the other 2 says standard open hcd

plug in a ps2 mouse (cos windows is thick as **** sometimes), right click on one of the OHCI controllers, click update driver, then automatic. it'll search for and install a new usb2 driver, but... won't activate it untill you click "finish"

which you can't do if you have a usb mouse.

pld, microsoft \o/

yep i did this it says windows cannot find a better matchthan the drivers already installed

well it might well be ok, if you have at least one EHCI entry. best bet is to try plugging a USB2 device (like a USB2 pen drive) into assorted USB ports - windows'll throw a hissy fit & tell you off if it thinks you plugged it into a USB1 port
