    Hello all,
    I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. I just reinstalled XP earlier today and now everything is like new again. Unfortunately, my files and movies from my external hardrive are taking too long to transfer onto my computer. I did one movie at a time and it's taking like 35 minutes to transfer, when before it only took 3 minutes to transfer. Anyone know why this is happening? I also did the same thing to my wife's laptop and it was transferring really fast. Please help! Thanks!

    Make sure you have chipset drivers installed.

    chipset drivers are installed. Do you think my laptop hard drive needs to be replaced? I had this laptop for over 4 years.
