my computer has a usb 2.0 port which is suppose to run on hi-speed right? but everytime i plug in my external harddrive it tells me that i have plugged it into a non hi-speed port and that it will run slower than it's suppose to, meanwhile i'm plugging it into the correct 2.0 port. Does anyone know how i can resolve this port problem so my usb can run in hi-speed?

thanks in advance
 
USB 2.0 can be either full speed or high speed. Your computer most likely has multiple USB Ports some are full speed and one or two are likely to be high speed. Find which one is actually the high speed one by plugging devices in different ports until you don't get that message.

Having said that, on my P5B Deluxe mobo, none of the outward facing ports are high speed. I tested them all. Although MS keeps doing that pop up and there is one EHCI showing up in the device manager.
 
when that message pops out i also clicked the option that says check to see which ports are the hi-speed ports but it says there is none, but specifically under the USB PORT i'm plugging into it says "USB 2.0" so i don't understand how that is not providing me the hi-speed connection that i should be receiving.
 
If you use windows XP, make sure you have service pack 2 installed, you probably have, but I thought I would just throw that out there incase you havent, as usb 2.0 is only supported in sp2 and up, but I think you already have sp2 installed or you wouldnt get the hi-speed warning.
