Yes something is definately wrong, but i'm really stuck in finding possible
solutions now... :-(
The files are both pictures and video compressed with rar.
HD's are set to DMA (one of the first possible solutions i tried)
HD's are regularly defragmented, so this should not be an issue.
HD's space i available i large quantities (several gigs available).
I appreciate your suggestions, and hope you or someone else can come up with
a suggestion.
