how much time should it take to copy one file (4.13 gb ) from one partition to another partition .

It took 10 mins to copy in my system .

I know it is not correct so what is the problem ?

Thats a lot of time.....no idea where the problem lies though

defrafmentation can be an issue, or maybe another HDD intensive task was running then.

Ah but be happy it isn't this high.

This happens with always or was that a one time experience? Vista drags the time taken to copy for some odd reasons for me, here. But I guess if its repetitive it can be a DMA issue too? Not that they occur for HDDs these days, still ..

I used copy and paste from one partition to another parttion .

my hard-disk is defragmented .

how can I check if it is running on dma or not .( I knew it but i forgot now, I don't remember it now )

I am using xp sp2 .

how much time it should it take ?
