Why is data transfer rate twice as fast in Windows Me when compared to Windows XP
120 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive:
Partition C: Windows XP Pro
Partition D: Windows Me
Partition E: Free storage space
I have always noticed how much faster Windows Me is than Windows XP. Programs open instantaneously in Windows Me while they take a measurable few moments in Windows XP.
From Windows Me: Restoring Partion C from a drive image file on partition E: 800 to 1100 MB/s
From Windows XP: Restoring Partion D from a drive image file on partition E: 400 to 550 MB/s
Why is the transfer rate twice as slow in Windows XP??
EDIT: It isn't, the low Windows XP rates were freak occurances, obviously due to background activity. Sorry.
