Title: Copy & pasting files in Win2k Re-boots
Post by: wizard2010 on September 06, 2001, 04:55:38 PM
I have a dual boot system.
Me c:
2k f:
I also have a removable drive on h:
The problem is that when copying files 100mb+ from
the removable into 2k Drive the computer just resets itself???

No problems in Win ME.....
And some Ace files come over corrupt???
But copying from a CDROM no problem...

Win 2k is installed as Fat32 like ME...
Any Idea\'s ????

Thanks in advance /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

How big is your power supply?  Just guessing, but maybe that removable drive is sucking enough extra juice (and I bet it uses a lot of cpu resources as well, which sucks even more power), that it\'s overloading the power supply.  Or if the cpu usage does skyrocket, it could be a heat issue as well.

That main board does it use a KT-133 chipt set?

if so your problem is drivers - just upgrade, apparently manny people have had problems with that chip set, win2k, and large files...

/Take my advice - I don\'t use it..
