Copy process becomes dead slow...?

[oc9ine]

Hi,

I have Win Vista Ultimate 32bit.
Intel D945GNT Motherboard.
Pentium D 3.0
1.50 GB of RAM
160 GB SATA HD.

A few days ago I upgraded my system to aforementioned specs. I needed to
copy data from old Seagate 80 GB IDE drive to my new 160 GB SATA drive.
What was really annoying that when I tried to copy a file from IDE drive
to SATA drive for example a file of 650 MB started with great copy speed
but gradually slowed to a crawl and it took a long time for me to
transfer data.

What could have been the problem...?

Regards,

Oc9ine.

Try using a thumb drive ?

Issue this command at command prompt (or Start-->Run):

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable

Even if it may not help you (e.g. if your problem is NOT with filecopy via
Ethernet network), it still seems tobe one of the most useful things to
disable in Vista.
Autotuning has become a source of numerous filecopy and even Web browsing
problems.

Vista is known for both slow copy and perceived slow copy issues, especially
in the original edition without any Service Packs [ if you do not have the
Service packs applied do so now ) ]. It's completely fixed in Windows 7.

But if it is not Vista, there could be a number of things going on. The
harddrives might not be running at top speed because they're not set to DMA
(check Device Manager), the cables are shoddy, one or more of them has a
physical problem, your mobo's BIOS isn't up to date and so on.

Turn off or disable temporarily any running anti-virus programs in
windows and use a tool that will copy the programs in the background.
I use Total Commander nagware for FTP and background copying of GB's
of data.

Don't download the beta software.

Issue this command:

SET DOUCHEBAG=JEWboy
SET RETARD=JEWBOY

Then restart your computer.
