Problems with external hdd (external case + hdd via usb2.0), too...

I want to load a image from an external usb hdd. But each time I try this I got the error message:

"usb device not accepting new address 2 (error=-71)"
"usb device not accepting new address 3 (error=-71)"

I tried the tip with the "F11" key and the command "acpi=off noapic", but the problem wasn't solved; there was the same error! I tried it on another PC without any problem (mainboard Asus P4P800SE)?! The boot cd was made with (german) True Image 7 v638 and the mainboard is an Asus P4B533 and an external case (Mapower MAP-HD31U2G with an Seagate 6,5Gb hard drive with one NTFS-partition). What can I do?

Thanks for your answer!
Now I tried the version 8 of True Image, but the problem still exists! If I reduce the speed of the usb port to 1.1 the hdd is found (but usb 1.1 is too slow; it needs more than 2 hours to copy an image from usb hdd to hdd!)?! Is there a possibility to run the external harddisk with usb 2.0 high speed?

 

After updating to build 796 I got that message, too.
I was testing a new boot disc (make a new one every build) when it happened.
I just sat back for a minute and then it proceeded to boot into ATI. Tried it a couple of times and a minute after getting that message it proceeded to boot.
It never happened on previous builds.
The only difference was I had just hooked up a new external USB drive with 3 partitions. The drive was plugged into the USB port but its power was off.
This is the only problem I've ever had with ATI..minor nuisance.
Try waiting a minute..see what happens.

 

Hello hit123 and WWS,

Thank you for choosing Acronis True Image (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/).

We are really sorry for the inconveniences.

This problem in the latest 796 build of Acronis True Image 8.0 is known and will be fixed in the next build. If you wait a little bit Acronis True Image should boot normally and see your USB drive. If it doesn't, please send a letter with the description of the problem to support@acronis.com. We will certainly help you with the solution.

Thank you.
