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? |

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. -- You'd be crazy to e-mail me with the crazy.

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, Twayne` |
