Help! Large file copy freezes after a while on SP1

G

Hello, I am running Vista SP1 fully up to date on modern hardware (Quadcore,
X38 Gigabyte board) with all current drivers.

Windows Explorer will freeze whenever I tried to copy a few files one after
another if the total sizes approaches 1 GB in total.

Even more strange is the fact that the freeze will occur even if i REBOOT
the OS between each copy of a smaller size file (like 300MB each), such that
by 3rd reboot and the 1GB limit hits, the copy message will appear but then
the progress bar will be stuck forever. if i attempt to cancel it, the whole
computer then freeze once i press the cancel button (but until then, the
computer is still responsive).

Copy smaller size files (such as <50MB) works without any problem.

The copy problem occurs with local copy between 2 drives or within the same
drive.

I have scanned the internal SATA drives for hardware errors; none found.

Can someone please tell? I need to copy large files for backup and the
system is now unusable.

Can you use the operating system's backup program? System Tools: Backup
Status and Configuration?

I like to fix the underlying issue, since i need to copy large files for
other purposes as well other than backup.

Can someone please help?
