Hello!

I first posted this question in the general motherboard section, sorry about that, admin.. ;)

I bought an external USB case for my 40Gig 2.5" hd.

The question is why I can't make it to work for me with my A7N8X.
It just makes a "ding, ding" sound. It works together with my laptop. I know that the USB can provide 500mA and the specs of the HD is below that value. Is there anyone out there that have the same problem, that the USB bus can't provide enough current for external peripherals when using the A7N8X?

Is there any "work around" to solve this problem?
