See if this helps

Also check your drivers and update all from the manufacturers website, not windows update. (I'd start with anything that the drive uses, HD, USB, SATA etc) Good luck!

It's interesting, it really should work as NTFS; but anything is worth a try. Let me know how you go.

For the explorer crashes incase you didnt get it yet, copy explorer.exe into system32 folder

I turned off bitlocker after format and works like a charm thanks for all your help

Did you check that all of your drivers are updated (per my other post)?

Some other things to check:
- Power supply wattage, there are calculators online, make sure that your power supply has a high enough wattage for your hardware.
- Try again with all other external devices unplugged
- Is the drive being virus scanned when you are trying to copy from it?
- Do you have any programs installed that copy files automatically from any plugged in usb devices?
- Ensure that Windows has the latest updates (there was a known bug in Vista with slow copying speeds)
- Consider disabling windows Remote Differential Compression. This is in the "Turn Windows Features on or off" area of "Programs an Features", You'll need to untick it.
