    Hey guys,

    I was curious if anyone else had run into this problem. It isn't a huge deal now that I figured out why my laptop randomly crashes and gives an I/O error. I forgot to write the specific error down but I will update with the error later once I am back home.

    If the U3 is plugged into the USB port and then I plug a USB hub into the the U3 slot, my computer will ALWAYS crash if it is put to sleep with the USB hub attached. The USB hub is attached to a MP270 canon printer and a external harddrive(which is usually off).

    Like I said this isn't a huge deal since it only crashes if the hub is connected and then the computer put to sleep, but was curious if there was anyway to actually fix this from happening.

    Thanks for your help,

    What happens if you put it to sleep with the U3 connected, disconnect while it is asleep, and try to wake it up?
