how much time should it take to copy one file (4.13 gb ) from one partition to another partition .

It took 10 mins to copy in my system .

I know it is not correct so what is the problem ?

defrafmentation can be an issue, or maybe another HDD intensive task was running then.

Ah but be happy it isn't this high.

This happens with always or was that a one time experience? Vista drags the time taken to copy for some odd reasons for me, here. But I guess if its repetitive it can be a DMA issue too? Not that they occur for HDDs these days, still ..
