USB 2.0 Controller drivers for windows server 2008

[AvinashBadgujar]

I have HP Pavilion G6 2005AX laptop with AMD processor. It had Win 7

Home basic as preinstalled OS. And its 2 ports of USB 2.0 & 1 port of USB 3.0 were working fine.

Recently I installed Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (64 bit)  for my project purpose.

But I could retrieve and download all drivers for this machine except USB 2.0 drivers. Other

USB 3.0 is working fine.

I can connect mouse / cooling pad to the USB 2.0 ports and they work but I cannot connect pen drives/hard disk to it. So I am sure that its driver problem.

Device Manager shows yellow mark on 2 USB Controller drivers.

On official Drivers download page Win server 2008 OS is not supported.

Please suggest proper link for these usb drivers.

Hey AvinashBadgujar,

Like you said, Windows Server 2008 is not a supported operating system for this unit; when using an unsupported operating system, many things won't work however some things might work. Windows Vista, 7, and Server 2008 are all built upon NT 6, so occasionaly the drivers are the same between those OSs - however, certain things might not work.

If you'd like to have a fully-functioning PC but at the same time need access to Windows Server 2008 for your project, probably the best thing to do would be to do a factory recovery (get Win7 back on there) and then use something like VirtualBox or VMware to run Windows Server 2008 as a virtual machine within Windows 7. That way all of your stuff will work, and you can still play around with Server 2008.
