It tried this and there was no change in speed at all. I’m getting around 10 MB/s. Too slow…. Thanks for the idea though.

Thanks a bunch! That made a HUGE difference. Too bad i only figured this out after having copied almost all of my files, but i guess better late than never;P

Scratch that. I found out that it indeed is the drive. Never shop at Fry’s.

Makes no difference for me. The eta keeps going up and up and up. God, this no-name external enclosure I got is crap. Or maybe it’s the drive?

Now we need quick removal (without annoying explorer interaction) to remove the better performing drives in XP

after further review I noticed that this method although greatly helps. It still doesn’t run as quick as it used to. Even compared to my laptop the transfer speed is slow……But still it is alot better than waiting 2 hours for a 2gb file to transfer

Thanks for the info. This did help alot. Its surprising how little coverage this issue gets on the net. I Installed a new harddrive and switched from XP home to Professional and that was the first issue I encountered. Transfer speed was Awsome on the Home edition but slowed to a crawl on Professional. I scoured the internet for an answer but I kept getting “oh just download service pack” which I did, still no help. I even asked a family friend who is an IT professional and he couldn’t help me either. This is the first Credible solution to the problem and I thank you very much
