Disabling Legacy USB Support
Hi all,
I have a portable drive which connects to the system via a USB Y cable (with two male USB-A connectors - one draws power to aid the main one and give the drive extra power - both need to be plugged in). In OS X, it's recognized immediately after I boot up, but in Windows I must unplug both connectors and plug them back in before Windows will see it properly.
I spoke to SimpleTech/Hitatchi, the manufacturers, and they told me I needed to disable Legacy USB Support in my system's BIOS to fix the issue. Of course, Bootcamp doesn't have BIOS.
Is there any way I can do this?
All help is appreciated.
