once im in the bios how do i check that the USB2 functionality is turned on?

That depends on your BIOS, and since we can't see your BIOS screens, it's gonna be guesswork to give step-by-step instructions.
For this reason, you're gonna have to use a little initiative - try going into the BIOS and having a look around.
What I can tell you is that generally the up/down cursor keys will move you up/down options, PageUp/Down will change an option, enter will take you into a subset of options and the Esc key takes you back up a level. That said, you'll see help somewhere (normally along the bottom of the screen) to tell you which keys will do what.
If you're not sure about an option, leave it alone. Just go in and out of different pages until you find the USB ones, then it'll hopefully become obvioius.

D'oh!.. should've asked this right at the start... are you sure your USB ports are USB 2.0?

There's a checkbox in the Universal Serial Bus Host Controller Properties (Advanced tab) that says Don't tell me about USB errors.
Perhaps you just have USB 1.X ports, and that checkbox was ticked before the reformat.
That would explain why you never saw this error before.

We need more info, methinks. Manufacturer and model of your motherboard would definately make the job easier.

Edit: If your mobo driver CD isn't with all the other CDs you likely have stored somewhere near your PC, then my best guess is that your Uncle who did the reformat for you still has it.

nope i checked and the box isnt ticked and im pretty sure they would be 2.0 as the pc is pretty new and all.plus it takes over twice as long to take things from my mp3 player as it did before.

ok how do i find out the manufacturer and model of my motherboard?

[uNz[i]]

Easiest way is to take a look at the motherboard or PC manual.
Failing that, if you can find the mobo driver CD, explore it for a .pdf file.
That should have what we need.
