this system:
amd 1600
256 ddr pc2100
Primary master : 120 gb western digital
primary slave : none
secondary master : lite on cd rw
secondary slave : 80gb maxtor
my operating system is on the 120gb. the problem is when im copying files from the 80gb to 120gb or vice versa its vv slow. well i think its slow. but then again i have a cack processor aswell?
i notice that when i have the 80gb maxtor plugged in, it takes me around 1min extra to get into xp. i notice that the screen stays still in bios for that extra minute.when i mean 'bios' i dont mean the detection screen, this is normal. i mean when its detected everything just be4 the black xp screen, it hangs on 'veryfying dmi data' or something. this dont happen when i havent got the 80gb connected. but id rather have this extra min on bootup rather than less space. dont see any problems accessing, copying or moving files on this 80gb harddrive. thank god!
does any1 have any ideas for speeding up file transfers? or any thoughts about this problem.
