Copy/Paste takes a lot of time

Hi,

I did a lot of googling before I'm posting here. Nothing worked.

Copy/Pasting a 700MB film from one drive to another takes at least 15 minutes. Worst of all, when I do copy/pasting I really cant even do anything else. The whole system responds me so slowly. I cant even open win amp and play a song while I copy/paste.

Burning a 4.7 DVD using nero almost takes a hour with the similar problem of slow response.

Dual-Core
2.5 GHz
1 GB RAM

Thank you

Freddie

What kind of harddrive(s) do you have? I'm guessing the problem would be there, unless you have some very slow RAM.
Also, when is the last time you defragmented your disks?

Thanks.

Like mentioned my RAM is 1 GB which should be quite enough.

Let me try defragmenting my disk and get back here. Thanks
