Moving Files make Windows7 slow like turtle

Hey,

I have this problem from long time now, i was searching for a way to solve this but nothing came a cross.

I'm moving files from disk to disk, I can't even browse net with firefox, i get "application not responding" like w7 would be only take care of moving and any thing other is not important.
I'ts quite hard to work on pc when i need to move a large pile of files.

I remamber there was similar problem when DMA was turn off (on XP for example) but i check, and all the disks got DMA turn on, and work in ULTRA DMA 5 O_o
I install all drivers for chipsets for my mobo which is ga-p31-ds3l
dvd + hdd 1 is on channel 0
and hdd is on channel 1
mayby thats the problem

Any advice on my problem ?
Thanks for reading ! :-)

fohfoh:
Memory usage? What shows up on task manager when this occurs?

Any chance of SMART info from the HDD to know if it's on its way out?

Lupin:
what kinds of files are you moving? Chances are your antivirus is scanning the files.

Why are you using IDE and not SATA? If you have to use IDE never put the optical drive on the same cable as the HDDs.

Ha. Ha. Wow. No wonder. Maybe the last ditch advice "get a new computer" really applies in this case.

Anyway, the guy has his HDDs on separate IDEs. I don't think it should be a problem. Performance may increase a bit if "HDD 1" is the master though.
