Inspiron 5160 USB speed issue.

Hi I have Inspiron 5160
Windows XP professional
P4 2.8Ghz with H/T
533Mhz FSB
512MB RAM


Problem is with the USB port speed. I have USB 1.1 flash drive which is slow when i read/write using the laptop. The same USB drive operates much faster when i connect to my desktop (2.6GHz P4, 512MB).

Please advise.
Thanks..

    possibly update the BIOS, Chipset, and/or NSS (notebook system software)?
     
    remove/reinstall the USB root hubs?
     
    32bit diagnostics test on the USB ports? ( at the DELL splash screen then choose the system diagnostics option from the menu)
     
    hope this helps!
     
    Cheers!

    Thanks.
    Did the 32-bit diagnosis test it passed the test.

    remove/reinstall the USB root hubs - need to see how to do it.

    BIOS upgrade may not help i think i hava A05 and the two newer versions doesn't seems to have any updates related to USB.
