You can determine the source of the errors by using Event Viewer.
Click Start, Run (Type) Eventvwr.Msc [Enter]
Errors will be shown as Red Icons in descending chronological order.
Double-Clicking an entry will bring up a details box with a numerical
Event ID # and a brief description.
If it happens on every type of transfer, then you need to look to the
primary Mass Storage controller as the source. I would check the
IDE controller (If that's what is used) and see what operating mode
your hard drive is running under. It should be a UDMA mode 3 or
greater. If it's set to PIO mode, then XP has done a mode roll back.
This happens when XP logs errors against a controller and in a effort
to stop the errors, lowers the operating mode back to a slower
speed.
