Hello, lately I have been having problems with my hard drive and I was wondering if anyone could help. The hard drive is 1TB and is partitioned into two drives. the C: drive I run all of my programs off of (about 100 GB) and the M: drive I store all my movies, games, music, etc. on (about 900 GB). Lately, while copying files over 500MB (larger type files, not an exact amount just big files) the computer takes about 1 hour for a 5GB file that I moved. Usually it was taking about 20-30 seconds. the following is the build for my computer, its relatively new.

Processor: 2.5GHZ Quad Core Processor
4GB of Ram
1 GB 8600 GTS video card
1 TB Maxtor Hard Drive

Thanks for any help regarding this problem.
 
Check to make sure the drives haven't been set to run in PIO mode. (Device manager and look at the properties of each ATA controller channel)
