Hi all - Hope someone can help
Here is the info about my PC before I give the problem
Running a Dual core 3.2Ghz Processor - 2GB RAM Windows Vista Home Premium - Norton 360
The Problem is with my FreeCom 400gb External Hard Disk Drive (USB 2)
Since a couple of days ago all was fine, I use this HDD to back up my DVD's. Then yesterday when I tried to access one of them, I noticed the transfer rate had suddenly plummeted to 2MB per second. This completely screwed any burning of DVD's using Nero 8 from this External HDD drive. I have uninstalled and re-installed all Nero etc still no luck.
After various processes of elimination I have narrowed it down to this external HDD, and now tonight I have narrowed it down even further to the problem being the transfer rate FROM the External HDD to my C Drive (or any other drive)
The transfer rate from my C Drive TO the external HDD is 12MB per second, however the transfer FROM my External HDD to my PC Hard Drive is only 2MB per second.
It is all USB 2 including the cables - All worked fine up until yesterday
The only change has been a few windows vista updates.
I transferred all of the files from the HDD to my C drive (this took 14 hours -125GB) and then formatted the problem External HDD (That took 12 hours) - Still no luck
So basically I have narrowed the problem down to the transfer rate FROM the external USB HDD to my PC.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Hans
