  1. the usb drive works perfectly in xp sp3.......the sata2 drive works perfectly in xp sp3........ neither drives work properly with vista x64 sp1... copy files from one location on the c: drive to another location on d: (second partition on same physical drive) takes hours when it does work but most of the time it fails with a not responding error after about 10 mins... why couldnt they just reuse the code xp uses for file transferring...... its tried tested and WORKS correctly why reinvent the wheel when the current one works fine? My system Specs are as follows Amd athlon x2 6000+ @ 3.0ghz Asus M2N E SLI mainboard XFX nVidia Geforce 8500GT 512MB PCI-E 16x graphics Hauppauge HVR 1300MCE tv tuner 16x Toshiba DVD Dual layer R/RW/RAM drive 4gb (4x 1024mb) Corsair XMS2 PC6400 DDR RAM 500GB SATA2 Western Digital Hard Drive Soundblaster Xi FI audio extreme PCI -E x1 soundcard Buffalo 54g Wifi pci USB2 Western Digital Book 500gb External Harddrive (Black one) Surely with a rig like that i should be getting better performance than an old 386 pc in vista.... with XP Pro sp3 (with only 3gb RAM) & Ubuntu x64 on the otherhand is very quick on this rig.
  2. update again had enough its now unrepsonsive im bining vista and going back to XP SP3 this ops sys is rubbish
  3. update file still not finished transferring......now says needs 50 mins
  4. i find it still has the file transfer speed problems and explorer reliablity problems. to copy files from my usb 2 hard drive to my sata2 hard i get speeds of 7-10kb/s YES kb/s..... then it becomes unresponsive after about 5 mins SP1 to me has made no difference in performance.... im begining to think vista x64 is a lame duck.... am going back to xp sp3 for now until either vista x64 is fixed (sp2 or 3) or windows 7 or whatever vista's replacement is gonna be called comes out...........which ever happens first. i wish Autodesk would make AutoCAD for Ubuntu x64......... i would make the switch in a heartbeat... just copied a 9mb file and it is about 14 mins in its still not copied this is complete rubbish ---- 17kb/s what a load of crap this vista x64 sp1 is
  5. hi i have vista home premium x64 with sp1 and my pc specs are as follows :- Amd Athlon X2 6000+ @ 3.0ghz 2mb cache 4 GB (4x 1024mb) Corsair XMS 2 PC 6400 DDR2 RAM Asus M2N E SLI mainboard XFX Nvidia Geforce 8500GT 512MB 450MHZ CORE PCI -E x16 graphics Hauppauge Wintv HVR 1300 pci tv tuner 500GB SATA2 Western Digital Hard Drive Soundblaster Xi FI audio extreme PCI -E x1 soundcard Toshiba 16x DVD/R/RW/RAM Dual layer dvd drive Explorer becomes unresponsive almost all the time when i try move/copy multiple files and when it does actually work it takes ages.....its so bad im considering going back to XP cos basically vista x64 sp1 is too slow and quite frankly unusable cos it is so slow. i really cannot see business's taking up vista if its gonna be as slow as what im experiencing...i'd go ubuntu x64 if i could but i use Autocad for work and unfortuneatly they have not developed a version of autocad for linux yet
