File transfers to external drives wont complete

Thaddeus89 · Nov 25, 2013

When trying to move large files (between 300mb to 2gb, I'm well aware of NTFS/FAT32) the file will transfer up to 99% and then will hang for upwards of 3-5mins before sometimes completing and just flat out wont transfer multiple large files at all, will hang after the first file gets to the same condition as before. I can still transfer from internal to internal and even from external to internal works fine, just no luck internal to external. I have tried every usb port on the front and back panels and have no variation.

I have tried a lot of different things, latest being a complete full reformatting of my OS drive and complete reinstallation (Windows 7 pro x64). Have run all latest updates and made sure that all drivers/BIOS/firmware etc. are all the latest and current but am still having the exact same issue as the last OS install. Have tried with multiple external drives and usb drives, full formats of all and still so change. I am running SpyBot 2 full professional edition. I have tried completely uninstalling it and restarting then trying the transfer and still no luck.

I am starting to worry that it is a motherboard issue which really would suck as the latest AMD boards are not on sale yet.

Have spent many hours now combing the forums for suggestions and cannot find anything that helps.

Thank you all in advance for your opinions and suggests.

Check your RAM with : http://www.memtest.org/

And you can make the files as .ISO Image files and then try to transfer them.

Thanks for that, ran the program and was very impressed and also so easy to setup but there were no errors after the first run, will run over night and see it changes.

I cant do an ISO because I am trying to transfer movies and TV shows to play on the TV as my network isn't good enough to stream over the distance from the modem to the TV.

Assuming that I do not find any errors in the RAM, what should I try next?

Thank you again

If the RAM is ok, then you can use this, may help you : http://codesector.com/teracopy

Or run chkdsk /f/r from cmd on your external drive.

UPDATE: So after much testing and frustration, I have done another complete format and reinstall in win7 and have figured out that the issue has been caused by the USB drivers (Etron USB3.0 - 1.1.0.115 from gigabyte website)

When it is installed, the issue arises, uninstall it and its very slow (usb 1.1 speeds) but it works.

After some searching, I found on the Etron website the latest drivers (1.1.0.118), installed and its back to working full speed and no hang issues.

Thanks for ignoring me and only offering monosyllabic replies.

Glad to hear that you found a way at last. Cheers.

LOL. You said you updated all the important drivers. Maybe next time you should actually do it before telling us you did.
