See Subject. I'm trying to a 10GB avi file, and the copy is not only
painfully slow, but aborts after about 45 minutes. Well before that it
shows a 10GB size on the Win7 drive. Estimated time has varied from 20
min, 7 hours and 4 hours. Comments?


It's a usb drive, or possibly firewire. Not a typical usb cable. ADS
Tech mfger, 300GB.


It would be much better if you knew which. How do you expect any help if you
don't know? Find it out on their website: http://www.adstechnologies.com/

In the meantime, you can run HD Tune on the drive (download it first from
http://www.hdtune.com/ ) and see what it has to say, especially the Info and
Health sections.
