Default Slow file transfer from XP external drive to Win 7 internal drive

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.

Probably USB-1 or else you are using a USB-1 cable

go with USB-2 and you should be fine

No error messages? I've seen that happen (to ME!) on an improperly setup
LAN. I can't recall detals, but ... it was fixable.
Can your MACHINE handle a 10Gig file transfer? You might try it from a
Command prompt and see if that doesn't work for you.
==========

Transfer.bat

@ echo off
copy X:fname.ext Y:fname.ext.
Or, try Xcopy.
Add your own error detection or just pump results to stdout.
If you're into the DOS window, you might love xxCopy (3rd party; NOT part of
windows).

HTH,
