how big was the drive to start with, copying to desktop meens theres two lots of the files on the drive one in where they was origonaly stored and then in the decktop folders, this can haapen when the drive runs out of space as the operating system needs space on the hard drive for storage of temp data for it to run, windows wont run properly on a drive thats completely full, or the rattle sound

could be from a badly fragmented drive and the read/write arms on the disks going crazy back and forth locating information.

Booted in safe mode, evrythng moving sm0othly (in safe mode), so it must b a certain driver thats causing the lockups.. Stil investigating, thanx silvR66
