re: 2 USB HDs ? Thursday, June 28, 2007 at 5:14 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6122 messages posted) You would have to buy a hub that has a provision for a power adaptor (and then you would have to buy the appropriate adaptor), or a hub that comes with a power adaptor that would be plugged into an outlet and then into the USB hub.. (as I eluded to in my post) The powered hub mentioned, that is installed in a drive bay, is powered from an open plug from the computers powersupply.. (would be the same as the power adaptor for an external hub that you can buy) Those would be your options.. On Thursday, June 28, 2007 at 11:23 am, Gordon wrote: >Thanks.
