the portable hdd works on my desktop, and i've tried it in other laptops and it works. Someone was telling me it was a windows issue. Oh and I have windows HOME edition on the laptop and PRO on the desktop. The drive runs fine, it just isnt assigned a drive letter when i stick it in the usb port. the portable drive is a fijitsu 80 gb hard drive.

Upgrades and Accessories / processor upgrade question
May 11, 2007, 08:15:09 PM
i have a pentium m 1.4 GHz in the x1085cl and I am thinking of upgrading to the pentium m 755 2.0 GHz--> is the x1085cl compatible with pentium m 755? And will there be a difference? Is it worth it? My main uses for the computer are for movies, one game--chess Fritz 10 which is not graphic heavy at all, and typing/internet. It just seems sluggish compared to my desktop, thats why I wanted to upgrade.

Technical Issues / Problem reading USB hard drives
May 11, 2007, 07:08:30 PM
SPECS:
x1085cl with windows xp pro
1.4 gHz
1.25 gHz RAM
80 gHz HDD
ATI 9200 Video Card
Okay so I dont know if this is a windows issue or laptop issue. When I plug in a usb harddrive (fujitsu 100 gig) windows (or the laptop does not recognize it or assign a drive letter. So it does not show up in 'my computer.' When I go to the device manager there is a little yellow question mark under usb port area. Install there but still doesnt work. The only way I can view the portable hdd is to go to disk manager-->assign drive letter-->then it opens, but not in 'my computer'
side note: I can only name files 8 characters in length and no spaces which is frustrating when transfering files.
HELP!!!
