Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum but my computer is fine and its as fast as it should be, but whenever it reads or copies/rips from cds it takes any where from 30 minutes to probably two hours depending to save the file. Normally, the file that I try to copy would be corrupted somehow.

with my old setup, whenever i tried to burn files i got off of utorrent, it would hit the buffer underrun protection constantly, because of the fragmentation torrents create.

I solved the problem by having my working directory and finished file directory on seperate hard drives, so once the file is complete, it automatically copies the finished file onto the second hard drive, and in doing so elimates fragments.

I also have my operating system and programs on a THIRD hard drive, so i never have hard drive slow down problems anymore, regardless of what torrents are doing on the other two drives.

If you only have one drive, a seperate partition for your operating system and temp space and one for storage would be my suggestion.

Well it's an internal cd drive so I don't think I should be looking for a cable problem. I checked everything, cleaned everything, restarted the computer and there's still problems. For some reason whenever I copy files now, it would copy for a little bit and then say

Cannot copy ________: When accessing a new tape of a multivolume partition, the current blocksize is incorrect.
