Help with USB problem on Intel 875 mobo please!

I can not seem to get USB2.0 to function, at least in a "HI SPEED" capacity...

I have a 2.0 multimedia reader connected to internal headers, and a USB2.0 external HD yet neither comes close to advertised speed.

I have the most current Intel/M$ XP(pro) drivers installed as well, and tried uninstalling the Hub/UHController to no avail.

Here is an example of the error message I receive when, for instance, turning the HD on:

"There are no HI SPEED USB host controllers installed on this computer
The unknown USB device is a HI SPEED USB device and will function at a reduced speed when plugged into a non-HI SPEED port"

Arrrgh!!!!!!!!!!! I am certain the board contains USB 2.0 ports (eight, to be exact) and the HD worked fine with an older Mobo in 2.0 hispeed.
I timed the transfer of a 100MB file at 6.4 MegaBITs/Second. Pathetic!

Please save me...

Not familiar with that board but is there an option in BIOS to manually set the USB speed from the old standard to the new standard 2.0? I'd check and make sure it is set on "AUTO" or "2.0" . If not I'd call tech support or return the board.

Is the cable bad or worn?
 
Forgot to mention- all BIOS options are for USB 2.0, etc. so a dead end here as well... :-(

I don't think the cable could be the issue as the 'puter knows it is a 2.0/HISPEED device, yet thinks the hub ain't up to it.

I really don't think anything is broken- just seems like bad software to me... Then again, what do I know?!?
