Vista freezes when copying files to external hdd
Hi all,
recently I have been trying to back up all my movies pics etc to a Lacie 1tb external hdd. We have had it for a while, it worked fine for a month, then we started experiencing difficulties with it and it remained in the too hard basket until now. Basically, I am running vista home premium premium on a Dell inspiron 6400 with 2gig ram (bought separately to improve performance). When when copying files to the hdd windows simply freezes. Anyone know of a fix for this? It's driving me nuts! |

That test would exonerate or convict the drive itself. |

Vista freezes when copying files to external hdd
I was also facing the same problem. I completely restore Vista partition. However, in the middle of the restore from USB Hard disk drive, the backup complained about faulty archive and I ended up with no working C: partition. I reinstalled Vista and almost all the programs. However, as the reinstall started from a situation, where there was empty space instead of C:, I noticed only after the install that Vista had set the BCD boot files to D:, while the Vista is quite correctly installed to the recreated C:
