When i copy a file from a differtn hardrive on the network, it lags severly and takes WAY Too long. A 10mb file would take 30 minutes, and 500 mb file takes 1022 hours and eventually freezes. On my other XP pcs 500 mb file takes 1 minute. Why is this PC so slow? I have another ME PC that copys and pastes filed from other hardrives Just as fast as my XP pc! help!
