Very slow copying from CD drive

This is a very common problem in various computers .
The copying speed is reduced to around 1.0 mb/second.That is the cd drive copies at approximately 6x speed.The read speed is considerably reduced.This normally happens because after retundant cyclic errors the drive considerably reduces the read speed.The only easy way to increase the drive speed back to normal (say 48x) is to uninstall the IDE controllers and then let windows cofigure and reinstall it during the next startup.
To uninstall the IDE controllers, right-click My computer (In windows)and select properties.Click the Hardware tab and then click Device Manager.In the Device Manager expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI and then Right-click the ATI IDE Controller and then click uninstall.
After uninstallation the CD-drive icon will disappear,but do not worry . Just restart your system and windows will do the rest of the process of installing the driver back and you will get the CD-drive icon back.

What is the use of a USB HUB?

Before seeing the use of the USB hub , let us know what a USB hub is. Older computers have very low number of USB ports, say around two. It might be necessary to plug in more devices in to the computer than the number of the USB ports available. Hence we need a device or an external method by which we can increase the number of USB ports. Here is where the USB hub comes in to play. A USB hub is nothing but, like an extension plug, for the USB port ion the computer. The USB hub consists of multiple ports. The USB hub is connected to the USB port of the computer and then the other end of the hub can be used to connect other external devices. The other end of the USB hub may contain more then one socket for increasing the number of devices that can be plugged in to the computer. Thus the use of the USB hub is simple. It provides multiple sockets to connect multiple devices in to a single USB port. It is just like a multi pin socket.  USB hubs may be of USB 1.1 version or USB 2.0 version.
