Copying files is very slow

I hope someone out there knows what is causing this problem.
When I try to copy a file or folder, either to another folder on the same drive or, 
to or from my external drive, it takes forever and if I try to cancel the copying 
my computer locks up and I have to reboot. 
This is driving me mad, i've defragged all the drives, done all my clean up programs 
i.e anti-virus (no viruses), Spybot Search & Destroy, Spyware Terminator, AdAware 
SE Personal, Windows Advanced Care etc. etc. my computer is clean of spyware, malware, 
trojans etc.
This problem has been happening for about a month now, i've tried a system restore, 
that didn't help...
Can someone please help before I take the drastic action to reformat and reinstall 
XP Home.
