I have a hard drive that I put in a USB 2.0 enclosure to connect it via USB
to my PC. My Soyo Dragon Kt333 came with a USB pannel that has 4 USB 2.0
ports that is put in one of the bays in the front of the tower. Transfering
20Gigs to the external hd takes more than 7 hours, so I assumed that it was
using somehow a USB 1 root hub. I confirmed this when I went to device
manager. I also found this in there:
1 USB 2.0 Root Hub,
4 VIA REV 5 USB Controllers
1 USB 2.0 Host controller
4 USB Root Hubs
1 OnSpecUSB IDE Hard Drive
The Onspec Hard Drive can be found in one of the USB root hubs' Power tabs,
so this means it is connected to that hub. Anyway, I cannot make the drive
appear on the USB 2.0 Hub, so this is why the speed is too slow. I already
tried to update all the drivers of all the USB devices in there as is
suggested in some posts in this newsgroup without success, it always says a
better driver could not be found. There was also another article in the MS
Knowledge Base about this, that said that the driver models should be
5.1.2600.1106 with a date of 29 Aug 2002, but mine are 5.1.2600.0 with a
date of 1 July 2001. Like I said, I cannot update the drivers, I have XP Pro
and the SP1 installed.
Please send me your suggestions.
