Problem with USB controller, TI 8

Hi, I just got the latest version of TI 8 and plan to do most of my work off the Boot CD. Firing up the bootCD on a machine with an Asus P4BGL-VM , I get an error

usb.c ... device not responding .. Error (-71)

(Sorry I didn't get the full text, the loader doesn't respond to Pause/Break)

twice, and then the program loads up, but my external USB2 hard drive is not detected. If I pull the USB connector out and plug it into my XP Pro workstation, it detects and reads from the drive just fine.

This is not a surprising problem - neither XP nor 2000 have native drivers for this chipset's (Intel 845GL) USB2, and in my PEBuilder enviro I can only use the USB1.1 controller, but if there's any way to help the rescue CD recognize this boot device, I'd much appreciate hearing it. Perhaps the rescue CD iso can be repacked by the EU with new drivers?

Alternately, I haven't had much luck finding a TI 8 plugin for Bart's PEBuilder. I'd be OK with using that instead.

Edit: apparently you Acronis developers are working on a PEBuilder plugin. Kudos!
