says Windows XP Professional is designed to format FAT32 volumes up to
32 GB. To format volumes larger than 32 GB in Windows XP Professional,
you must use NTFS
& http://aumha.org/a/parts.htm says With FAT32, the inefficiency of
storing data does not appear until 8 GB.
I have same setup but no speed problems.

Thank you. I converted the 3 partitions of my Iomega external disk into NTFS : no change. The computer is slow when the external disk is on, even if no data transfer is on course. I tried to change the PCI slot my USB 2.0 card is in : no change. I disabled system restore on this disk : no change. BUT, when I plug the disk on a USB 1 port, of course transfers are much slower, but when no transfer is on course, the computer works at a normal speed.
I don't know what I can try... Thanks for any idea !
