long loading time for USB device in Windows XP

[changyang]

Dear all,

I have a problem which always confuse me. I have PC with both Windows
2000 and XP Home edition installed. I have USB 2.0 external hard disk
and other USB devices. In Windows 2000, all of these devices work ok,
however, when I use XP, the time between I insert USB devices till I
could use them become much much longer, no matter which USB port I
insert them into. After the system identify the device, then it works
ok, not at reduced speed.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I have XP SP2 installed and
my BIOS is updated to latest.

BTW, my PC is Intel 915GAV motherboard with Intel P4 3G (530) CPU and
1G Memory, 200G SATA hard disk, XFX 6600GT Graphic card.

Thank you for your help!

There is really no problem to solve. Windows 2000 and Windows
XP are different operating systems with their own programming.
And, therefore, each will handle and manage hardware a little
bit differently or utilize computer resources differently.

Thank you for your info. However, I do not have this problem in my
office PCs, which also run XP. I mean, in my office, my external hdd
could be loaded very fast as Window 2000

 

[Reboot]

While setting up a duel boot system it is easy to forget to install
the motherboard USB and chipset drivers twice--once for each OS.
First thing I'd try is install, or reinstall, USB drivers from the
motherboard's CD.

Hope this helps...

--Reboot

Actually, I did install the CD accompanying the motherboard. And I also
upgrade the chipset driver from Intel's website.

Any way, thank you for your info.
