Slow USB transfer rate

[blakka]

Hi,

I am running windows XP and have a 500GB ext HD connected via USB 2.0 to the PC. All was fine until last week when I done a clean install of XP. Now my USB transfer rates to/from the ext HD are extremely slow. I have updated my motherboard with the latest bios and drivers but still the problem still persists.

One thing I have noticed which did not happen prior to the slow USB trasfer rates is that when I connect a USB device to my computer a message is diplayed saying "The device can perform faster if you connect it to a hi-speed USB 2.0 port".

Any help or advise on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

What does it say in device manager?

Hi, this is what my device manager looks like now.

When I look into the properties of the ALi USB 2.0 enhanced host controller it says that the device is working properly.

I think you just helped me solve my problem. I just updated the drivers of the host controller and now my USB speeds are much faster. Thanks
