Some of us are not as tech savvy ,as say guys like Matt and Mac. My method is to try different things before I call for help. When BIAB 2009 came out, I ordered the HD version. It came with a Y usb cable and I couldn't get it to work. Lucky for me PG Music had already sent me the cds so I just sent the HD back. They sent me an email saying that it worked fine there. I then went out and bought an Iomega 250GB powered HD. It has worked almost perfect but there are some quirks such as I cannot have it on when I power up with a cold boot or Win XP won't load. Last night I got fatal errors each time I tried to install a real tracks cd (about 80% through the installation process) if I didn't power everything down and reboot before installing each real tracks cd (3 ea). I got them all installed okay though. I'm using a Toshiba 105 Satellite laptop. I had the feeling that perhaps my usb ports were under-powered so I bought a powered hub to have handy. I'm running my Edirol ua-4fx off the laptop with no problems though. I'm think that running too many peripherals off the laptop usb ports has an effect on the power available. There are some components that say not to run them from a powered hub. The Edirol is one of them. FWIW
