Well the Copy/Paste speeds seem to be horrible on Vista. My HDD is in two partitions, and copying something from one partition and putting it on the other is a pain in the butt. Has anyone found a fix for this or know of one that might help.

Note * This is not copy/paste over a network, it is all within one computer.

just copying? do you have sata or sata2 HDDs?

[Agon]

Yes I have a sata HDD, are SATA HDDs not supported by vista that well?

[Hybr!d]

What do you mean it doesn't work well?

Can you be a little more descriptive.

[hAvAAck]

I think he's saying it's slow when he's trying to copy files from one parition/HDD to another.
Are your sata drivers installed properly? And what is 'slow' to you?

[Agon]

Well this is what I mean. I currently have 2 partitions one one Sata HDD, on windows XP copy/paste is relatively fast, but if I'm trying to get like 5gb folder that has files inside it It can take up to 45 minutes on windows vista when I go on windows vista and copy something from my XP partition. I also have problems copying files on my Vista partition from the dekstop to another folder on the same partition. In XP I got much better speeds, where can I install drivers for my SATA HDD, I believe they are installed.

[Hybr!d]

I doubt it's drivers, I'd be more inclined to do a scandisk and defrag on both partitions.

[Agon]

How long do you guys think a 250GB disk defragment would task with only 70GB used.

[Hybr!d]

Probably best to do it overnight.

[Agon]

LoL. Yes and I have a 60GB on the side SATA which I am dumping all my files into it.
