Hi guys,

I have a asus m2n8-vmx mb which supports usb 2.0 but for some reason xp sp3 is unable to detect it ( usb 2.0 port)...........whenever i insert my external HDD into any of the usb ports ( 6 of them) system gives me a notice saying " the usb could perform faster if connected to a usb 2.0 port":S........and is there any seperate driver that needs to be installed to enable usb 2.0 .... if yes then could some one please give me links for that....... and also the transfer speed is very very slow ( 700mb file takes 12 mins to transfer ):mad:........ and will upgrading to windows 7 fix this issue???/
Please do give suggestions.

Thanks,
