Train, you got it! That Microsoft article is exactly the problem. But before I got back here to see your suggestion, I found another reference. Apparently, this is somewhat common. The solution I...

I may eventually do just that.

Although I copy large files onto this drive, it's not the main concern. I'm really wondering whether or not this problem is inhibiting or slowing down the video...

Tried cleaning up the drive, including defrag. No effect.

The problem is time to copy really is long. I don't need a stopwatch to see it's taking nearly an hour to copy one file.

Why now? I...

Please add the following correction, which changes identity of the system disk:

HD Drives(3, all NTFS): WDC SATA WD5000AAKS-00YGA0 (Storage),
Seagate SATA ST3500630AS (OS),
Maxtor SATA II...

I probably wan't clear enough describing the problem. I'll add a bit more detail.

I'm in a folder on the C drive. In that folder there's a 4GB file. I click and drag the file within the same...

Copying a large file takes too long. Example: 4GB file will take over an hour. On the same PC, but another drive attached, the same file will take 4 to 6 minutes. I've run scandisk and defragged with...

Your suggestion regarding the mechanism of PM and it's affect when dropping to DOS is interesting, and worth looking into. However, when the copying is done, System Commander is turned off. The only...

I'm familiar with low-level formatting. I'd give it a try, but rather continue with the video project at this point using only 3 partitions. Just as well.

It still bothers me. Not sure the LLF...

I never considered using more than one disk. I suppose the operating systems would be independent if each was installed while the other disks are disconnected. Not sure, but it's worth a few...

Your partitions are not independent if you let XP manage them. Your boot.ini file probably has several partitions/operating systems referenced. Each boot.ini file in my setup refers only to the OS...

I tend to create 4 independent partitions using WindowsXP SP1 on a single hard disk when setting up a new system (which isn't often). The method I use requires VCOM System Commander (v8.1), Symantec...

I use System Commander 7 as a boot and partition manager. There are 4 partitions:
0=System Commander (MultiFAT) with Windows 95b used for storage only
1,2,3=Windows 98SE

I also use a mobile...

Is anybody out there familiar with PassThisOn?

I had my first experience with it a few days ago. While downloading a file that took me weeks of searching to find, a window popped up that demanded...

24-inch cables do appear to be available:

Some of you might remember that I've worked with a lot of older systems (like 486s). This is actually the first time I've used a setup with some of the newer features. The biggest drive I used...

While visiting the Maxtor site, I found a description of my problem:
...

I recently purchased a maxtor disk. It came with a MaxBlast3 CD. I'll try that, and make sure there isn't something else available by visiting the Maxtor site.

I'll let you know what happens,...

I checked the slave. It's a disk I've used many times with settings as master and slave. It's definitely set as slave. The jumpers are very clearly labeled.

I've also tried three different...

I thought there was a limit on the length of the IDE ribbon. I'd need about 20 inches to reach from the motherboard to the Slave then back down to the bootable Maxtor. Even that would work only if...

I understand the CS setup. In fact, I've been able to get a slave on the Primary Master by putting the Maxtor at the end of the ribbon. However, I must install the Maxtor in the middle.
...

I've configured many, many hard drives in lots of different machines, and never had much trouble. Now I'm trying to install a 60GB ATA133 Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 as Primary Master with a Primary...

Sounds like the "down to 1200" is more important than the PCI version, since your suggesting the v2.1 @ 1200 could be the better modem. I'm not so much concerned about the$20 extra as much as why...

Thanks, Miz, for the information. I've already downloaded the patch, and will try it as soon as I can.

I assume from your response that all PCI2.2 cards are "universal". Therefore, all PCI2.2 cards can be used in a PCI2.1 compliant slot.

Your description of the bps vs baud and protocols shows you...

Anybody know what could be causing this error:

WORDPAD caused an invalid page fault in
module RICHED20.DLL at 0167:4804e5c1

I've only seen it when opening files with an RTF extension. But it...
