We want our users in company to login their computers by using their USB Flash Disks or something else. Is there a way to achieve this without buying a USB token from a company ?
Hello,
I am using Windows Vista, my Motherboard is Intel D102GGC2
The transfer speed through USB is very slow on my PC, just 2-3 MBps...
I also use Ubuntu 9.10, and surprisingly the USB transfer speed is as expected, ie 16-17 MBps.
So everytime i have to transfer Huge files i have to reboot into Ubuntu.
What might be the Problem ???
I checked the Intel website for the ubdated drivers for my mobo, but they dont support my mobo now.
Thanks
Using Ubuntu's USB Startup Disk Creator (usb-creator-gtk), I created a LiveUSB from the Xubuntu 9.10 LiveCD. When booting, it stalls up with the Xubuntu mouse splash screen displayed.
In attempting to troubleshoot, I used Ctrl-Alt-F1 to check out the first virtual terminal. On that screen, I see over and over again the lines:
stdin: I/O error
stdin: error 0
/init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found
I have a new Thinkpad T-510. I'm thinking of getting a USB microphone/headset to use with my Dragon Naturally speaking software program. Do USB microphone/headsets typically work with most new laptops or do they require some special hardware?
I have Maxtor Basics Desktop 1TB external USB drive connected to Windows XP. The dirve's firmware puts it to sleep after 10-20 min of inactivity and then the drive cannot be mounted unless I reset it via power connector.
While in sleep mode I can see the device in the Device Manager under both Disk drives and USB sections.
Is there a way to get the drive out of sleep mode without hard reset?
Thanks
I have a Canon Digital Ixus 860IS. I originally copied a short movie from my camera onto the computer via a USB card reader and then copied it back onto the camera via the same USB card reader along with some photos. The photos have copied back fine but the movie, although it's showing to have copied, can't be seen. Any reason for this? Thanks
I just added a USB mouse to my laptop which is running Ubuntu 9.10. However, the mouse isn't automaticaly detected.
Do you know how I can make my USB mouse usable on an Ubuntu machine?
I'm listening to a net radio on my PC
I want the sound to go through my boombox cause it has nice speakers/amp
The boombox has no "incoming" audio jack that just plays what comes over the wire
However the boombox has a USB jack where you can put a thumbdrive with music.
The question: How do I make the PC pretend to be a mass-storage device, and dynamically send all received audiodata to the boombox over a symmetric male USB cable?
Failing that, at least tell me how to do it for local files (rather than streams).

I have a Dell Mini 9 with only Ubuntu installed, I want to install Windows XP also but I don't have and can't get an external CD drive, so I need to make a windows installation from the usb.
All the tutorials I found use windows to make the usb bootable, how can I make the same from linux?
Hello,
I have a RS232C/USB cable to connect an electronic device to my iMac Intel (MacOSX SnowLeo 10.6.3).
Is there a utility program that allows for sending ASCII characters on the USB port that the RS232C device will understand?
If possible, I'd rather avoid programming. I'd prefer an Automator script or a simple program with a GUI.
Thanks
I have this weird problem with my SanDisk USB Cruzer maybe someone can help me...
I removed U3 software
I used diskpart.exe to "activate" my partition
yet when I restart my computer and select to boot off of USB it won't boot, my computer freezes and nothing is happening after that.
any ideas what am I doing wrong?
I have a nice little USB light which has no off switch, it is 'on' for the duration of being plugged in.
My question is, is there a way of disabling the USB port so as to turn off the light while it is still plugged in? Preferably, this could be done from the command line, but if it's possible at all that would be really cool regardless. I use Mac and Linux, but am interested to learn if this is possible in any OS, or if physical hardware prevents usage like this.
I want to upgrade my Vista 64-bit edition to Windows 7 64-bit, so I've installed and run the Windows 7 Compatibility Test. The only item that is being highlighted as incompatible is my Zyxel G-202 wireless usb network device.
Does anyone know of a wireless USB device that is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit?
I'm having problems recording audio on windows using usb audio devices. The recorded material will have some kind of jitter/clicking noice.
I tested three different usb microphones and three different recording applications. Every combination will have the same problem.
Does some one know a solution for this problem?
I have an Abit KN9 motherboard, and a USB keyboard and mouse. The computer will not POST with the keyboard or mouse plugged in, but they can be used (and they are fully functional) if you plug them in later, after POST. On the POST side of things, it hangs when it shows the installed processor, and goes no further - pressing DEL to go to setup will not work. I've tried disabling legacy USB support as recommended, but can't find the option anywhere in the BIOS.
i'm trying to make a bootable OS X Mavericks USB flash drive but cannot run the script.
Visit this link:
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-make-os-x-mavericks-bootable-usb-flash-drive-for-a-clean-install/
I followed the script and it fails, after you input the script, enter password then I got a message saying:
You must specify both the volume and install application path.
Now i don't know what to do.
Please help guys!
I formatted a 16 GB USB Stick today so I could boot from it and that works great. The problem I have is it won't let me copy a 7GB Ghost image over to USB, it says there isn't enough space. When I look Windows shows there is 14GB available. Can anyone give me some insight into this issue?
I have several laptops so I use a USB key version of Firefox to keep my environment as I move around. I followed the suggestions offered on the Firefox web site (turn off the cache and history etc.) and its better but still much slower than the normal version.
Other than buying a new, super fast flux-capacitor based USB key, what other tips and tricks can I use?
Hi Everyone,
I need to use spinrite on my notebook which has no cd-rom.
Can one tell me how I could install and run spinrite from a USB thumbdrive?
such that I could boot the notebook up with a thumbdrive and start spinrite.
Are all USB thumbdrive capable of booting? I don't even know how to make them boot.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best Regards.
Just successfully installed and ran windows 8 to go on an external usb hdd.
After shutdown and removing the usb hard disk, tried to start my laptop which has a single windows 7 system, but failed to boot and even repair trials didn't succeed.
It seems that win 8 affected the strucure of the laptop hard drive which results in corruption in its main win 7 partition.
How to fix that and avoid future problems of the same type?
thanks.

3 of the six USB ports on the back on my new ASUS Z87 PRO motherboard are not functioning properly. They do seem to deliver power, just don't seem to function for data (devices attached in these ports are detected by windows, or usable in UEFI)
I think I'm right in saying that the top 4 ports (3 of which aren't working) run off an additional USB controller (not from the Z87 chipset) if that makes any difference.
I'm pretty sure that I'll just have to return it, but any advice on diagnosing the problem would be welcome.
With a typical USB hard drive enclosure, is the full range of drive power management functionality available?
In what may be an unrelated matter: is it possible to suspend a PC without unmounting an attached USB-powered drive, and then remounting it on resume? This is the behaviour I'm currently seeing (running Ubuntu linux 10.10).
Are there certain models or brands that provide more complete control over this aspect of drive operation? My Friendly Neighbourhood Computer Store carries (part of) the Vantec Nexstar product line.
After restoring this computer with a backup it appears that 2 of the 5 usb ports no longer work. I'm thinking that there is something corrupted on the backup disk causing the failure. When I plug in a usb keyboard to these ports the system will not recognize the new hardware on the 2 bad ports but does recognize new hardware on the remaining three ports. All the ports were working prior to the restoration.
