2 HD (ATA133 & ATA100): Very slow file copying in one direction?

Hi everybody,

Can you help me ?

My old Dell Optiplex GX1 was upgraded with a Celeron 1.4 (OK) and an ATA133 ITE card, used as controller, without the RAID function (OK).

2 HD Hitachi: an old 120 Go (HD1, ATA100, as C:) + a new 250 Go (HD2, ATA133, partitionned as D: + E:), well recognized; all features OK for each HD in Everest, for instance.

The system works well, except a 'little' problem:
- I can copy a large file (such as a 700 Mo video AVI) from C: to D: or E: quickly;
- but if I try to copy such a file from D: or E: to C:, the system becomes very very slow (id. for deleting a large file in D: or E:, but no problem in C:).

The two HD are connected to the ATA133 card, each of them as Master on Primary (HD1) and Secondary (HD2) ports. I tried to connect them as Master + Slave on Primary port only; the system runs, but my 'little' problem is the same...

I tried, but couldn't 'downgrade' the ATA133HD to ATA100 (using the Hitachi 'Features Tool' dskt).

Thank you for any help !
