WIndows 2000 enables disk write caching for USB disks by default, XP disables it by default. The reason your ipod seems so fast in 2000 is that when you copy something, it doesn't actually write it to the ipod right away, so transfers appear to be only limited by the speed of the source hard disk. You can enable it in the Device Manager, however doing so will make it easier to corrupt the file system on your Ipod if you remove it without unmatching it.

Is there any way this situation would be affected by having the ipod booted into the apple firmware? In WinXP, I consistently have fast transfers in the apple firmware, but slower transfers in Disk Mode. In Win2k the transfers are fast, regardless of Disk Mode or apple firmware.
