[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1425758, member: 38928"] I'm not sure what you're actually trying to achieve - you mention using FAT32 because of friends with PCs but then say you want to keep all the iPhoto metadata etc which is only any use on a Mac. Without knowing the intent it's hard to give a full answer. But assuming you want this as a full backup of your iPhoto library then it's the whole library file you need to copy. I'd expect 80gb to take roughly 1 - 1.5 hours to copy to a USB2 hard disk. Many small files do increase the copy time but the numbers you're quoting are disproportionate. Do you have another disk you can try? Do you have another USB2 cable to try? Is your Mac connected to mains power? Is the disk problem free? No bad sectors, formats OK. If possible can you re-format to MacOS extended and see if you have the same issue [/QUOTE]
