More USB woes

Fri Mar 26 14:49:34 UTC 2010

Something weird is going on, that's for sure.

The drive would not mount at all the other night, I was getting errors
about 'cannot read partition table'. So I switched to a different port
and it worked fine (well, slow, but no errors).

Also, no matter what port it's connected to, if I try to burn any
files from the drive to a data DVD, I get an estimate of more than an
hour to complete the burn. What??

...and just now, when I plugged in a USB printer to another port, the
drive disconnected and then reconnected (??).

I think my computer is having problems as well...everything seems to
happen at once sometimes.
