Question: hub and usb 2.0 not recognized? i have xp sp2 and an asus p4 motherboard\n\neach time i install a hub and plug my external HDs on it  (HD are finely recognized as USB 2.0 when i plug them directly on the motherboard's USB ports) the rate is VERY slow and i have that stupid xp message saying :"you should have USB 2.0... etc" when it's absolutely ok if i don't use those damn Hubs...\nI have no particular drivers delivered with those hubs..\n\npls help me (and yeah i know my english sucks especially when it comes to technical stuff)

Answer: I'm not sure I understand your question but here goes:\n\nYour external USB 2.0 hardrives work fine and fast when plugged directly into your Asus motherboard USB ports but are quite slow when plugged into a USB hub which is plugged into your Asus motherboard?\n\nIt sounds simply like the hub is NOT a USB 2.0 hub.  Does the hub have it's own power supply?  The ones without are generally 1.1 and 2.0 will have it's own.
