For me, this normally happens if you have a hard drive that is 5400rpm. I have the same problem with my 60GB 5400rpm. I just use it for extra backup so not much of a problem that is unless I want to copy a lare file to or off of it then its very slow.

Though I now dont have that problem much since I have moved it to its own raid controler. hehe And for some reason its a lot faster than when its not. Up to 33% faster. Shows up as SCSI Disk Device under device manager.

Though is a lot worst that that compared to my other drives twich both are 7200rpm but also have 8mb of cache instead of just 1mb so then the cap is even larger.

Well thats normally what I have found to be the case.

Though it could be a number of different things. But just thought Id ask first.

Also is the hard drive on a different ide channel than other hard drivers or what.

Is it only certain type of files? Or what about just coping files vs copying folders or both at the same time. Notice any difference? I once had a problem only when coping folders. Some stupid context menu on the folder had currupted the registry so when copying fiolders it would search the folders for avi files. Pretty much as the same avi bug in sp1.
