Maybe it is not your lack of driver that is your problem, but rather the way you are installing it.

Why no XP SP2? A USB 2.0 update is included with SP2.
Any previously installed Device Manager devices can be cleaned out by:

Start/Run/cmd
type:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 [Enter]
start devmgmt.msc [Enter]
View/Show hidden devices

Click each of the "+" signs, to expand the device listings.
Then, uninstall any "greyed-out" devices.

3MB/sec, so yes it's USB 2.0, but definitely not as fast as it can go.

Ok so my problem is not a missing driver but it's not setup right? how do I fix that?

Install XP SP2 (see my previous post).

How long does it take to copy that file from the external to an internal hard disk?

You may need to update your chipset drivers. The cardbus plugs into the laptop equivolent of a pci slot... pcmcia. You maybe having bandwidth issues on the bus.

Update to SP2, or find an updated motherboard driver on the laptops manufacturers site.

To an internal disk? it transfers just under 20 seconds.
