Hi
How have you connected the 2 PCs together? Is it LAN port to router to LAN port? Which is the slowest point in that connection? E.G. is your Ethernet port on either PC at 100MB or 1GB. You may need to consider using a potentially faster USB external HDD if that is a faster connection. Regards, John.

Hi, Running Windows Seven Home Premium 32 bit on a dual core Pentium 3.00 with 4GB RAM and WE 7.2 I used to say things like "it is slower than molasses running uphill in North Dakota in the winter time" Or "slower than grass growing in the Arizona dessert". I've got a new one now... "slower than Windows Seven backing up my hard drive" Unbelievable. I started backing up about a TB worth of data on Monday afternoon. It is now at 44 percent. Backing up from one internal hard drive to another on an otherwise very fast machine. Does this seem normal? Or have I missed something? I've found that navigating the Windows Seven control Panel screens takes a combination of tabbing, up, down, left and right arrows and using the numpad mouse keys and I can't help but thinking I have somehow overlooked a something, like a setting that says verify each file twenty seven times or something. Something has to be wrong. Your thoughts? Sincerely, Donald E.
