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!

What happens if you try to copy the same size/number files to the external
drive from a different PC/OS? That test would exonerate or convict the drive
itself.
I cant say that ive tried... ill get back to you...
