I asked you about any software and you said you had some, but did not work, can you remember any error messages you got? If you go to device manager then click on USB controllers you should see under that branch USB 2.0 or USB high speed, if you do not see it then you most likely do not have USB 2.0 And you have a PCI USB 2.0 card in the Desktop? ------------------

If you use a compatible USB 2,0 device, and plug it in USB, then it will work, but you will not get USB 2.0 transfer rate. Can you remember why the software did not work? ------------------

The reason I asked was I thought you placed a floppy disk in what I thought was a floppy disk drive. Yea you have to format any new drive expect optical ones, to be able to save data on them. The laptop you do have does have USB2.0 capabilities, and were there any drivers or software to install for the USB 2.0? ------------------
