Hello dear customer,
the toughdrive is a buspowered product and on your xp copmputer
is the usb buspower not sufficient. You shouldn´t use an usb cable
extension and shouldn´t plug any other usb device together with the
toughdrive, so that it can get the most usb power. If this is not enough,
you can help yourself out by using an active external usb hub with
a power supply on it. We usually deliver y-usb cables in such cases,
but i don´t know in which country you have bought your toughdrive.
We can only deliver such y-usb cables in that countires where the
product is sold.
I've not plugged another usb devices at a time and i;ve connected directly with usb cable of device itself.
and blue light is seen when i plug to any usb port. but drive isnt detected.
in device manager also i've checked, device working properly written there.
Please guide me, wht is the problem? wht shd i do? i need to take my imp files from my pc to my laptop..
Thanks.

Hi
Any ideas on what this does (in the red circle)?:

and what is the name of the wire that can be attached to that?
Would it solve the problem posted by vitrag? I too have the same problem!
I'll try the Y-USB solution too...
