Teote Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 I just got an external HDD for my computer to store extra file. I know USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps but I am downloading at problably USB 1.1 speeds. I contacted my External HDD manufacture and they said to talk to DFI since it is a problem with my USB 2.0 Host controller or something like that. I tried the external HDD in my friends machine and It is 100's of times faster copying things to and from his computer. I thought I would post this here and see if anyone can help me, before I contact DFI. Anyone else know how to solve this problem or have this problem??

Marlando Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 how do you install the usb 2.0 controller? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 go into the bios an make sure that the USB controller is set for 1.1/2.0. Make sure that it isn't just set to work @ usb 1.1. Or maybe it will say "enhanced USB", i'm not sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 did you just put the computer togethter? did you ever install the NForce 4 drivers from the DFI CD? you need to do that if you haven't. Just put the CD-ROM in your drive and clikc the "nforce 4" button when it autoruns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlando Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 I have it set to 1.1+2.0, but i don't see any indication of it working. Is there a driver I have to install to enable it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 you must have SP1 or SP2 for WindowsXP if you want USB2.0 to work YOU DO NOT NEED USB2.0 DRIVERS FOR WIN2k/WINXP IF YOU HAVE LATEST SERVICE PACKS! you need to make your sig more detailed...and include what psu you have please also make sure if you are using front-port USB hubs (ie your case's front USB ports) that they fully support USB2.0 (I have a case that claims all hubs are USB2.0 but they aren't...all the controllers on the board ARE USB2.0 tho) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 did you check to see if USB 2.0 is enabled in the BIOS? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlando Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 I'm only using the ones on the rear of the computer. I shouldn't have to do anything at all? they'll just work? I don't have any high-speed transfer devices anymore, so only my mouse is hooked up to it at the moment. How do I tell if they're enabled and working?

Angry_Games Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 normally you just plug a USB2.0 device into them (i always keepy a Lexar USB2.0 memory stick around to test with) and they work (there's a huge difference in USB2.0 and USB1.1 that you can tell instantly) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
