Why don't you just point it to the file...

It is going to be on the Windows XP disk.

Hmmm, I have XP Home, and didn't need to install any drivers for my card reader...

Please help me with this problem.... Its killing me having to use PCLink... ARRRR 5 mins to transfer a little file...

search google for the exact file, download it and place it in the system directory, should solve the problem.

i hope you are exagerating when you say 5 mins for a "small" file. pc link wprks good on my pc. and the usbstor.sys would be the driver on the devices driver disc that should have came with it. there is a site online some where that has drivers for nearly anything, i dont remember what it is but a wuick google search should help you find it.

before i got my new computer i had to use USB1 and that took about 1hour to transfer 20mb it was really annoying, now it only takes 10minutes or something like that...

if it requests the file then point it to C:\Windows\system32

if that doesnt work try the subdirs in system32

Its fixed now... I went onto the other computer thats on my LAN and copied the Driver.cab from that computer thats also running XP into my C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 folder and it works perfectly...

Thanks
