Thanks for responding..when I plug my ipod or cell phone it does charge it but my computer running xp doesnt even recognize it...i checked the bios setting and made sure it was enabled..the i/o port infront of my pc has 2 fire wire ports ...doesnt work...2 usb ports doesnt work...the media reader has 8 ports and 1 usb and doesnt work either...
But using a pci usb card worked like a charm ..i really doubt the media reader and i/o went dead but i have to believe in everything...
I would appreciate any assistance !!
