My USB hub keeps switching off the power or something to my external hard disk, while in device manager I already turned off the computers ability to turn off power to the hub.
Has anybody else had this problem?

Do you have a number of other powered devices plugged into it? If so then there might just not be enough juice to power them all through the on USB port on the computer.
Try going into hardware manager and turning off Windows ability to turn off USB ports for power saving.
I have other powerful devices plugged in, but they never had this problem in Vista ultimate.
And I said I already turned off windows 7's ability to turn them off for power saving.
Then it's a device issue not a vista issue :/
Who mentioned I'm working in vista? I'm working in windows 7. Jeesh, do you actually read the problem before responding? I never had this problem in vista, which would make this a windows 7 issue.
Y'know, you could try showing a little gratitude towards those who're trying to help you... Just a thought.
Have you tried unplugging the other high-powered devices to see if that makes a difference? How frequently does it switch off?
Windows 7 is a polished version of Vista with some security settings such as UAC turned down. As for reading you've given us very little information to go on.Quote:

It happens every few hours. Restarting fixes it.Quote:

I have one external hard drive, 1 mouse, 1 keyboard and a part of a speaker set going to it.
Basic error is USB driver not recognized, while doing that just 3 seconds before.
Direct connection to motherboard.
Only the hard drive has this problem.
Event log:
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation.
It's probably a driver issue. Try installing the latest drivers for your motherboard.
Perhaps it's not windows 7 compatible. Thx for the help.
