SP1 copying between internal HDD broken

I was one of the people who got the SP1 for Vista 64 early. File copying
between my PATA IDE drive and my SATA drive no long works. Or it's taking a
long, long time. I'm copying 150 megs. In Vista pre-SP1, it would take
maybe 10 seconds. It just finished and it took about 10 minutes.

Yeah... :) Guess I'll be reinstalling Vista and disabling SP1. :)

No change (or problems) in going between my two SATA drives with SP1 here
with Vista 86x (32 bit).

Okay, so I figured out the problem. It wasn't SP1's fault I don't think. :)

I installed ESET's NOD32 just recently and apparently it scans every file
that you copy between drives. That's great except on a particular file, it
seems to take about 10 minutes to scan. Heuristics I'm guessing. I don't
understand why it can't scan it AFTER it's been copied instead of letting the
copying hang for like 10 minutes.

My bad on the SP1 bashing. :p Although I'm sure I'll find something else
wrong with it.
