PC slow while copying large files.

PC is Win7 x86, my HTPC.

when copying files to an external USB drive or local disk, the PC is too slow to use.

CPU usage is about 8%

Have tried TC 7 and 8 Beta.

It's Intel G31 chipset with E8500 CPU and 2GB RAM.

Hello mrboonmee,
Does this happen with Explorer, too?

Works slightly faster with Explorer, still not fast, so may not be an TC issue. I will use Explorer for now. Strange.

Try disabling your anti-virus, then test the transfer.

Same with Microsoft Security Essentials disabled.

Doesn't appear to really be a TC issue. PC works slightly faster using Windows Explorer, still slow..

Maybe i just need to build a new box, just figured a 3ghz core2 duo was fine for what i am doing.

thanks again.
