Slow while copying windows xp setup files
I hava a Dell DImension 3000 and im trying to install a fresh copy of Windows XP home. When getting to the copying files process, its very slow. It took 4 hours to get just to 30% Any ideas why this is happening?
I replaced the cd-rom drive and the ide cable. Also i replaced the Hard drive ide cable as well. The hard drive is a western-digital WD400.
