My System Specs

Default Agonizing transfer speeds
Trying to throw windows on a flash card to do a reinstall of windows here at home when ive noticed a crap problem. When using the front USB on my case (700D), my transfer rates are brutal and running at roughly 25-50kb speeds. But when I use the back usb the transfer rate climbs up to 6MB/s. Any reason why my front panel usb is running like absolute garbage?

Also 6MB/s even seems pretty damn slow to me as well. Any ideas to how to speed this damn thing up? I dropped optical entirely in favor or USB based medium, but at this rate im better off going with optical.

Correction : its running at a whopping 4.23MB/s now.

is your front panel plugged on to the usb 2.0 port and not the usb 1.0 that some mb have?
or the firewire plug which is the same as well i think

Re-format the USB stick with NTFS, should help a little. Yuck FAT32!
