Answer 1

well dude i think you problem would be



1: have you checked whether your system SATA cable is working good



2:when your copying make sure the file your copying is not running or used in the back ground......



3: and the speed problem you mentioned....the speed differs on what type of extension your copying i mean 50 MB .DAT file takes more time to copy than a 50 MB .EXE file.....



4: if the above is not your problem there may be virus file inside your hard drive which is making these problem run a anti-virus scan....



5:even then you get the problem check your transfer cable



6: have you changed your new hard disk to slave,because there should not be two master hard disk in one system



7:problem persists the replace your hard disk



hope this solves

Answer 2

if you have a corrupt file you may have copied the files over incorrectly, you may also need to defragment the external drive, sometimes defrag can eliminate corrupted files. something else to consider, when ever you load a Hard drive with more than 50% of its total size/capacity, the drive slows down, it is best to keep drives at 50% or less and never more than 80%, I make a habit of coping all files to DVD media where possible and save the really large files for external drive.

Answer 3

you could set the new disk as a primary slave device and boot off the original SATA (set up in bios). You can further partition the original disk, however windows sometimes goes haywire when you do this. Partitions work best before the installation of windows.

Answer 4

without further info i would say your original hard drive is the problem it may be on it way out the new drive has a clean file structure better read write capacity . how old is your older drive and how long has it been since you defraged it ? you best bet is to get a new hard drive ot replace your old drive.

Answer 5

i think there is a problem in ur windows try to repair it or format it........

before doing that check ur newly brought sata hard drive somewhere else i.e. at ur friends PC, if the same condition occurs replace that harddisc with new one.....
