The drive is nearly 1 TB in size, but it won't seem to let me copy a file from my PC that is over around 4 GB's in size even though the drive is not even 10% full. Why is it doing this and how do I get it to stop? i've fomatted it to NTFS 5 times and still it doesnt work...... the copying process just stops.......
It says that it's the external hard drive is NTFS type it says " 931,51 GB NTFS Healthy (Primary Partition)
When it's starting to copy it just stops, i can see a tiny bit of the green thing, and when i click on "More Details" it says "Time Remaining: Calculating" and The speed is 0,00 MB/Second" but after i waited for a few min it changed to "3,87 MB/Second" and the "Time Remaining to 15 seconds" i've waited more than 15 seconds and it hasnt moved an inch..... a 8gb file doesnt copy in 15 sec... This hasn't happend to me before, the problem started when i tried to format a partion to FAT32 and that didnt go so well, so when i was about to formatted it to NTFS i got the "Write protection" problem so i used CMD to clear the attribute of the disk and the volume of the hard disk, and that worked very well and formated it to NTFS.
The copy procces stops but the drive is still visible in the system and large files are non-responsive. Some people say that i've destroyed the partition table and delete partitions and recreate it. I did what they said and still it isn't working, i deleted the Volume in the disk management and formated it to NTFS, and when i tried to copy the 8gb file it`s still the same, taking ages to copy it to the external hard disk and did it by using the disk managment and by trying to format a partion of it to FAT32 i used some softwares such as "GUI Format" "Swissknife" and "miniaide" is it because of these files that my HDD is behaving like this? and it says that my HDD external drive is NTFS file system but i dont know what the cause of this, i've formated it tons of time but stil the copying procces is very slow. I can definetly tell that the problem is from my external HDD, not my pc because used another external HDD and tried to copy a file over 4 gb into it and it worked fine, took me 5-7min.
Any ideas people? please!
