For the fun of it and having nothing better to do (ha,ha) I did a "collect©" of my present project. Firstly, a have a vintage computer compared to Adreane's. My project size is 18.2 Gb 1. I copied to a different drive than the one with the source footage, took 10min. 2. I copied to the same drive on which the source footage is, took 29min.
With only 5.63Gb to copy the task should have been completed in less than 10min, even if copied to the drive with the source footage on. Telling you this does unfortunately not solve your problem. I would suggest that you do a test and copy the folder with the same footage to a different location (drive) in Explorer. If that does not take long would indicate that the problem lies with Premiere and not your computer. As the computer has never been online I am wondering whether you have installed the latest Premiere update 4.2.1 ?
