Folks,
I have replaced my tiny system HD with a reasonable sized one and installed
a 300gig for data storage.
I have re-installed XP Home on the new system, but, during the process of
re-installing various add-ons, I added a USB/Firewire card before installing
its drivers. I installed the drivers afterwards. I think that this is why
when copying large files/folders to my external USB HD (Maxtor, for backup)
it does a sort of stutter step every few seconds. It did not do this before,
it ran smoothly and quickly.

I am planning to delete its drivers, remove the card, install the Maxtor
drivers, replace the card, keep my fingers crossed!

I have seen advice on deleting/re-installing drivers in this group before.
Please point me in the right direction.

Any other advice would be appreciated.

TIA

Pat
