OS is XP SP2. Std tower pc with Pentium 4, 3.00GHz chip & 480MB RAM
Page file is 1GB.

Disk 0 is a 75GB NTFS drive (C drive)

I've now added Disk 1, 470GB NTFS drive (D Drive - Media etc) which I took out of another PC. (It's never been a C Drive btw) It is seen in BIOS and by Windows, and can be accessed no problem. However, if I try to copy biggish files from D to C, or D to G (memory stick) I get a BSOD! The last line of the screen, which is only visable for a nanosecond, says "SCSI something something" 🙁

Any ideas?

Cheers

Jumpers, bios upgrade, map drives to different letters?

Run a scandisk on it anyway (as well as a full virus scan). Right Click on the drive | Properties | Tools | Error checking.
There a utility called robocopy from Microsoft which handles copying large files better.
