I need some major help here..
My current system is cmoposed of 2 WD 80's RAID'd into a nice 160G C: drive... NTFS
I later bought a 120G Maxtor to use as a abckup drive. FAT32.
I do what ive normally done in the past on other machines. I hookup the Maxtor to rhe secondary port on teh MB, set the jumper to Master and Im off to boot.
Reboot I see teh drive fine maxtor 120..
Windows XP starts to load and I see its taking 4x times as long now! I finally get into XP and view teh drive, no problems.. I can see it fine, no device conflicts etc.
I xfer around 200megs to the Maxtor and its reports it will take 10minutes! ugh! and on top of that I can do anything else or it horrible lags . so I couldnt even cancel the xfer so I hard reset.
Come back.. I start to mess some programs and notcie liek my DVD player Lags and studders on films (from teh HDD .vob files). and IE and otehr porograms have a little pause from laoding .
Im goning nutz here.. I pull ed teh drive and everything works liek butter from before! super fast xp loading and no problems whatsoever.
Any idea or help?
