    I have a Corsair flash drive, that I'm SURE used to be USB 2.0, but I've been playing around with trying to make it a boot disk, and suddenly it's showing as USB 1.1,

    Any idea how I can confirm which it should be, and is there any setting? I ran the HP flash disk maker, and I guess that would be what changed it from USB 2.0 to USB 1.1

    Thanks

    Most USBs nowadays are 2.0, so I'm pretty sure theres nothing wrong with the USB key, what device are you sticking the key into?

    Well I'm putting the Key in my laptop USB port, which is an Acer 8204, and I know the port works fine as USB 2.0 because when I put another USB key in it detects it as USB 2.0 no problems.
