USB stick - Slow file transfer in XP

MaoaM · 2005-02-02 11:34:06

Hi, I have a 256meg usb stick. Here in college using the windows 2000 machines it takes seconds to transfer relatively large files. Using my laptop which runs XP it's painfully slow. Just wondering if this is a known issue and if there's anything I can do. Thanks
