Actually, file transfer over the LAN is limited by the network, not by
the disk (Network: 10 MB/s max, Disc: up to 100 MB/s).
Maybe the transfer is slowed down by frequent 'drop-outs' (transfer
stopping for a few seconds). You can check this with Task Manager.
Watch the network utilization graph and look for 'dips' (drops to 0%).
If there are dips, that's the cause of the slowdown. Since you don't
have the prob with XP I would suspect a router problem. See my posting
of this morning (nickname Aquarius), hope it will help.
