thanks it was the bios speed are fast now 

Glad that sorted out your speed issue. Just an FYI though, "4 mbs" actually means "4 Megabits per second", which equals 512 KB/s (Kilobytes per second).

 

You should write it as "4 MB/s" instead. Writing the "B" as a "Capital B" indicates Megabytes, where as a lower case "b" indicates Megabits. It might seem trivial, but in computing terms, it's really quite important to know, and to properly label, the differences between the two.
