re: PC Freezes when moving files Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 3:15 pm Posted by blk4bte4 (4 messages posted) Just a followup it appears to happen when transfering files between Sata drives but not IDE drives.

One thing that helps is to do it is smaller groups at a time. Also, using Copy rather than Move avoids some problems with files that are read-only or system files or files that must be kept with the partition. Then after the copy has finished, delete the files that can be deleted.

The work around I can do is to move files from the Sata disk onto an IDE disk and then move them onto the other Sata disk. The Sata disks are treated as Plug n Play. Is that how they suposed to be?

I have had quite a few " Kernel Stack Inpage Errors". Searched the net and found that I will need to check my cables and maybe replace them. 1 hard drive maybe on its way out, but won't know for sure until I take things apart.

Other things to try: 1. Move your swap file to a different drive (preferably to the other channel). 2. Disable all ACPI (power saving) functions (bios and win). 3. Resource conflicts. Failing RAM. 4. Some forums suggest "Disable "System caching" in BIOS", but I don't see how that would be a cause. Simple enough to check, though.
