Hard drive going bad2?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I forgot to mention that when I try to copy a file to another hd that
windows locks up, the clock stops, nothing that I click will work except
ctl-alt-del task manager.

I end process of drwatson and win falls to desktop, arrrgh, no blue smoke
yet.

You mean that this happens when you try to copy a file on any hard drive to
any other hard drive?

Two things. First, try to keep your posts to one post (so do a followup
as a reply). This helps make it easier to follow

Second, try installing the latest chipset drivers and check your BIOS
settings. Make sure that everything is operating correctly and see if
removing any of the drives help the cause

Thanks all, I found a beta version of spysweeper was causing the problem
