When I plug in a USB device Windows says that it would perform faster if connected to a USB 2.0 port. But I thought the NF7-S's had 6 USB 2.0 ports? How can I fix this? I'm using the ports right on the I/O plate of the motherboard.
Windows says the drivers are working correctly, and devices I plug into the USB ports work, it's just that Windows won't recognize it as a USB 2.0 port, so I don't know if I'm getting the increased speed I should be getting.
Make sure the USB 2 controller is set to Hispeed and not Fullspeed in the bios if such an option exists.
Make sure USB 2.0 is enabled in the bios if such an option exists.
Some boards have both of those options as well....I don't have the NF-7 so I can't tell you where to look...but it should be integrated peripherals or chipset features maybe.
not to go off topic...but i have an old abit extra usb thingy that goes in the back.now if its made for usb 1.1 will the cable be compatible with usb 2.0 if i have a usb 2.0 controller or should i go off and buy a new one

Cables (attached to the ports you are talking about, as well as front panel mount in a case) and the physical port you plug the drive into, have nothing to do with 2.0 or 1.1...it is all in the controller chip and on the board. The pinouts are the same for 1.1 or 2.0.
