I have 2TB of WD external hard drive.

I use windows Vista 32x. on DELL laptop Latitude D630 and connect through USB cable.

When I transfer from my C drive to external hard drive it transfer only 3KB/sec.

It take 30min to transfer 6MB.

It is useless at the moment.

Can anyone help me how to speed up please.

Thanks in advance.
