Why is Vista Copy/Delete time and speed so slow?

[darkthreat]

i think it has to do with the 2.0 usb speed, it only happens between usb and hardrive, and deleting off the usb, cuz i tried deleting from the hd today and it was fast as normal.

edit:

Ok, i think i know whats worng but i dont know how to fix it. When i plug in my usb a new message appears saying that its not plugged into a 2.0 speed usb, however, i have a seperate card in the back which was installed with 4 2.0 usb ports and two firewire.

It tells me to click to see where to plug it in, and it says i have 4 unused 20 usb ports, so they should be the card ports, right? So i plugged it in there, and it says the same thing, not to mention other things are plugged in there as well, and the comp says that the 4 2.0 usb are all not in use at the moment. I don't have any other 4 empty usb ports. I have two in the front, which aren't 2.0 for sure, and the card in the back with 2.0. I tried plugging it in directly to the card and through the 2.0 usb hub in the card.

Any ideas?

the card with 2.0 usb didn't come with a driver installation, could that be something? I also went to device manager to update all usb port drivers, and it says they're all fine.

i seem to have found the problem. the driver that comes with vista or is downloaded is not compatible with vista. I am looking for a compatible one, although many places say there is none yet.

(need vista 32 bit compatible driver for IEEE1394)

ok, i found one, and now it even detects that my usb is plugged in the high speed one (i see if the high speed are occupied by plugging one of the flash disk in the front which is non 2.0)

it even shows my 2.0 hub which is plugged in.

cool. i'll test the copying speeds now.
