one of my hadrd disk having extremely low read/write speed ( variable 400 kbps - 1 mbps ) . 2 gb folder took 57 minutes to copy . i need to transfer data into new hard disk , but these speeds are driving me crazy . ..... please help me
(chkdsk/xcopy/xxcopy/robocpy didn't work perfectly)
 


I had similar issue.. ran the drive manufacurers test tool on it.. which confirmed it was on its way out.
So do the test.. and if the same for you.. get your stuff of it ASAFP before it gives up completely.

and if you say "chkdsk didn't work perfectly".. It suggests even more strongly that drive is going bad.

Cheers
