I also now remember when I transfered my files and Limewire to the L: Drive, everything was sooooo slowww. I bought a Western Digital My Book 250gb external HDD. The file format was FAT. So I did a little research and found that I should use NTFS Format. So I had to reformat the new HDD. Only reason I mention this is to let you know this may be the case with your new HDD also. Just make sure you do a backup or you could lose everything on the new HDD. Hope this helps.
