I recently upgraded the hard drives in my PC (Win XP Pro SP2). I
duplicated my old 110Gb HD to a new WD 250 Gb HD using Acronis
Migrate Easy 7 and then switched the drives. I then added a second
WD 250 Gb HD (identical specs and both brand new). Both drives are
EIDE 8MB/ATA100.

XP launches fine but I have discovered that file operations (file
copy, move, etc...) take a very long time.

Are these operations slow transferring data from one drive to the
other? How about within a drive?

How was your performance prior to your upgrade?

Another idea:

Have you checked your BIOS settings?
