if the copy of xp is new enough, its got a funky little tool called
the Windows Malware Detection And removal Tool (a freind of mine who
is an MS MVP has had the same problem as you just under a different
circumstance.)
I took an sp1 machine, created some text files that i wanted to search
for and got no problems on an athlon machine (2.4Ghz)
I then upgraded to sp2 -- same machine, same 200gb sata hdd and everything
no problems
then i let it run its updates
BAM
trace shows:
its the windows malware detector (aka windows defender or whatever you
want to call it.)
also, avg can do this too
try moving 200 files with mv -r /tmp/std-output/* /logs/$$/, each
about 30kb each
One other thing I wanted to add to this was make sure the drives are not
overheating. Some drives will actually shut down or begin to act
erratically if they get too hot. I discovered this when doing work with
my external drive (notebook ide using usb adapter).
P.S. - The reason for this issue was because I had the drive near an
exhaust vent for my laptop -- mistake :( It is normally fast enough to
handle high speed burns or file transfers as necessary.
