Copying a file
I am attempting to back up some of my files on to a CD before I reinstall Windows XP Home. However, I clicked copy a half an hour ago to start copying the 500 MB file to the CD drive where it will then be copied to a CD. It still says "preparing to copy". I have never seen anything take this long to copy! Did it really make that much difference when I took one 256 MB DIMM out to stop all of the errors and restarts?

it looks to me that it might hung up (or froze).

It did freeze after 45 minutes. I had to turn off the power. I don't have all day to do this. Maybe I'll try copying it to my other computer. Would that go any faster?
