    I like to try something new which suddenly came in my mind but feel it is risk too same time so like to ask anyone if its safe or not.

    I have a Lappie USB hub which have 3 USB in parallel with 1 Mounted Port.

    i have connected this lappie with my one Laptop and use the mounted USB port to add my Pendrive Disk. Now i took Both end USB cable

    [​IMG]
    and use one of the parallel port of Lappie and inset one end to the Lappie and another end to another laptop.

    What will be the result ?

    If anyone ever tried this ? My Pendrive will work like centeral Pendrive Disk and can accessed from both Laptop ? or due to both end power supply any short circuit will happen ?

    I am curious if someone Hardware technician can assist in this problem.

    Not to worry, you can most certainly connect to laptops to one hub at once. And yes, both laptops should detect the Pen drive when mounted on.
