Slow external HDD on USB - Vista
Hi.
I have a problem on my Vista. On XP Home all was OK. Now On Vista when recording from external HDD to external DVD writer there is very slow transfer. Its looking like a reading from HDD and then recornig, reading, recording. (light on writer stops then hdd read) So 4.7 Gb takes ~40min. Like I said on XP all was warking good.

Slow external HDD on USB - Vista
Though I can't quite see how this has happened, it sounds like the devices
are both on the same USB bus, hence only one device at a time can be accessed. Are you using a USB hub? If so, don't. Try moving the devices into different USB ports, ideally, put one device into a port on the rear of the computer and one into the front panel connector, this will almost guarantee they will be on different buses. If you have no front panel connectors, just try plugging them into the ports on the back that are physically furthest away from each other, this again should ensure different buses. Hope this helps.
