Hello,

I have Inspiron 8000 notebook. I bought a Western Digital external hard drive. It is a combo drive having USB2.0/Firewire connections. I inserted the USB cable ends into the hard drive and my computer. Instead of having Windows XP (Home) automatically installing the drivers, this message appeared as soon as I plugged in the USB cable:

"A HI-SPEED USB device is plugged into a non-HI-SPEED USB hub.
For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."

[after clicking the message, another window appears]
----
"The USB Mass Storage Device is a HI-SPEED USB device and will function at reduced speed when plugged into a non-HI-SPEED port.

then it shows recommendation as:

Recommendation:
The USB Mass Storage Device will function at reduced speed. You must add a HI-SPEED USB host controller to this computer to obtain maximum performance."

I have other usb devices with this computer without any problem. Please suggest what i need to do ??

Thanks
