Cable For Update

Nope, the 3-way cable only has + and - power leads but no data leads built into it. That's why you need a standard USB cabe with both power and data wires in it.

Thanks, I don’t know anything about cables, so if I get a generic USB cable any one would work? Doesn’t have to be from XP.

Correct, any standard USB cable will work, however, XP recommends that the USB connection on the computer used for updates be USB 2.0 or higher compatible. USB 1.0 has worked for some people, but you want 2.0 or higher to be safe. You want Blue Black, or Teal inserts in the USB port. Here is what to look for on your computer's USB ports:
