eSATA HDD Hub station Card Reader UK code 43

[Cazzynutt]

I am having major problems with my Sata HDD Docking station and after doing some scouting around I discover I am not alone. It worked the first time I used it the I just get error code 43 error in Device Manager have tried all ways of obtaining a different driver but to no avail. After reading through a load of forum posts I decided to take the advice of a guy who had a similar issue with a web cam & so I powered down my laptop then took of the battery for 30secs & hey presto!! how on earth that can solve it i don't know & do I know have to do that each time I want to use it??

Well at least now I know how to get it working!

Error Code 43 refers to when a device is not operating properly

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Make sure you have the correct drivers installed.

Sorry, but it may just be a piece of hardware that isnt "exactly" win 7 compliant. Did you do the upgrade adviser before?

It feels like the "reset" helps solve the issue. If that is the case you might want to take a look you your power profile.

Is this a laptop, running "balanced"?

Thanks for the tips but

notsograymatter - this is precisely my point the manufacturers state that it is compatible when it clearly isn't.

zigzag - Yes I am running balanced but it doe seem likely that it is a power issue if the reset works which it seems to.

Thanks for the help anyway :-(
