Feature or Time to call Apple
Here's the deal I plugged my ScanDisk 256Mb USB drive in before turning on my 12" rev d PB with OS X (10.3.8) and the drive did not mounting. So I unplugged and plug into the other USB port and it mounted just fine. Then I plug it back into the original USB port and the volume still did not mount. So I rebooted with the drive out and then installed the USB drive into both ports and it mounted just fine.
Any clues?
Is there a way to reset the USB port?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
