Vista file copy problem.

Hi,

Just built a new Vista based system, but im having problems when copying files from a CD to the Hard drive. It does the time calculation and begins copying but half way through it just stops and hangs. Tried different DVD Drives, Different CD's, copying different files, it always just hangs!

Any thoughts?

Will post full spec if needed.
Intel Core 2 Duo, Gigabyte 965P-DS3, 1Gb Ram

RESOLVED ISSUE : SOLUTION WAS TO RESET BIOS AND DELETE DRIVE FROM DEVICE MANAGER, LET WINDOWS REBOOT AND REFIND THINGS. NOT SURE WHY, BUT THIS IS WORTH A TRY INCASE YOU ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

CD's are fine as they work in other machines, and no AV has been installed on it (yet!)

Disabled windows defender real time scanning but same issue still arises, any other thoughts or is this just vista for now?

Just tried it with a USB DVD drive, and still the same problem. It stops in random places as well, not just with one specific file.

C:\ to C:\ works without problem.

Get a reasonable transfer to start with, off a CDR its like 2megs a second for photo files. It slows right down to a stop, and the green bar goes red and it hangs! Reboot time!

Am not impressed with the Vista experience so far, unless this is solved is back to Windows XP
