Re: Unable to Copy large size files in Vista

vista has lots of problems with copying files...

they say that this issue will be fixed with service pack 1

You can try disabling your antivirus , and see if its better...

There is also a program that will help you ...

see here
http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.asp

TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum
possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features:
Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek
times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard
drives.

Pause and resume file transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up
system resources and continue with a single click.

Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and
in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer.

Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix
the problem and recopy only problem files.

Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move
functions, allowing you work with files as usual.

Re: Unable to Copy large size files in Vista

To further help you all here are 2 screenshots I made (under XP though but
it must be the same under vista also) that show how to use this tool
You can use the RIGHT CLICK and drag and drop files and then when you
release the mouse button
a menu pops up like this:

Or just simply use the context menu (right click)
