System freezes when copying large files from CD to HD [a7v] [hd]

2011-05-19 / Computer Help / 0 Comments

Q: On my second system, when I copy a large file (like the Win98 folder to the HD) will freeze. I do a reset and the files are usually distorted, I thought. Have not tried to copy the primary hd yet, did not corrupt a fresh install. Seems like I remember reading something about this on the FIC website but can not remember. I also have lock-ups when moving large files from hd to hd. Ideas? This was my primary system until I went to the A7V/Duron setup and had no problems with Maxtor 15g then.
