It seems to me that there ought to be a set of step-by-step instructions identifying the driver packages by "sp" number, their function and the order in which to install them. One was for the OS itself and the other for the drivers presumably selected for this notebook and serial number. I might also add that I used a set of two discs that I purchased from HP to reinstall the OS. I doubt that the port hardware is defective the USB drives mount but presumably as USB 2.0 devices. I have not run the diagonostic suggested because 1) the ports worked before the SSD apparently failed, and 2) I'm not sure where to get the software and what to do with it. I still receive the "This device can perform faster" message. I received the message that it was not supported on this operating system.ĭuring these procedures, I encountered messages that I was either installing older drivers than those aleady installed and/or that I was overwriting the already-installed driver from a previous installation attempt. I then downloaded sp66487 (USB 3.0) and ran setup again. I downloaded sp59259 (Intel chipset) and ran setup and then rebooted. What should I try next and in what sequence? There are two items listed in the Device Manager's USB Serial Bus copntrollers window, neither of which seem to me to be appropriate for my system use: "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Detection Driver (USB)" and "Unknown Device." There are two entries for the C216 chip set. The processor is an Intel Core i7-3520M 2.9GHz with 16GB of RAM. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit is installed on this 8570p. This time I received the error message "This operating system is not supported." I then received a prompt that suggested I try to reinstall again. I received this error message: "The setup program failed to install one or more device drivers. That said, I tried reinstalling it again, after being prompted to overwrite the existing files in the install folder in the root directory. I had already installed that driver (sp66487) and encountered error messages that my USB 3.0 devices would run faster if connected to a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port.
