USB2

ok sounds silly but when I plug my exterbal drive into my DFI nF4 Series ultra it tells me it will work quicker in a usb 2 port.......thought they were all usb 2 ports...
I have even plugged the drive into all the ports with the same message coming up. a bit confused now
I have unistalled the usb 2 root hub and reinstalled it as well

any ideas?????

Thanks

Not using a usb 2.0 certified cable?

If you're using XP without SP2 I believe problems with USB speeds can arise.. (that's from memory, I could be wrong)

Another thought, any option in bios to change 'high speed usb' to 'full speed usb' ?

using xp sp2
usb 2 certified cable ???? never heard of them sorry. Cables are all new though

New cables should be usb 2.0 but not necessarily. Usb 1.1 cables look identical but due to inefficient shielding are incapable of transfer at usb 2.0 speed.

ok this what I have done ,
unistalled all usb controllers, reinstalled.
I then went and did a update using update driver in device manager, and it is now updated and working.
Thanks for all the help people

Thanks
