Hum, by keeping the ehci driver loaded, it took 85 sec to copy a 900 mb file... thanks for that... I will ask my friend why he suggested unloading it... Is this the maximum speed i should get (10mbytes/sec), supposing i am not hd limited (as I said, it's a sata model, running ext3)?? As you mentioned, highspeed allows up to 40Mb/s... -- Thiago dos Santos Guzella Electrical Enginnering Student - UFMG (www.ufmg.br), Brazil Linux User #354160 UIN: 13465286.
