I am trying to clone my existing C drive (60G) to a larger drive (200G),
using Miray HD Clone Pro. The manual states that the transfer rate  can be
up to 64MB per sec. i  Can only achieve 1 MB per second. That means it would
take 16 HOURS lol.I have a raid card installed, would that cause  it to slow
down. Tried to contact Miray but no response. Any advice would be
appreciated.

Just drag and drop a couple of gigs and measure the transfer without
Miray.

Download the 544 meg ISO of Service Pack 3.   Something.
But 16 hours for 60 gigs, NOT!.   I cloned my 10 gigs in 10-20 minutes
to give you a better measuring stick.    I use Acronis True Image.  PS.
They give you a trial of it.

Over the wire ?
Disk to disk ?
Is the disk IDE ?

Is this done within the XP OS or do you boot from DOS and clone disk to disk.

It could be your PCI bus.  It could be holding you back.

Run the test Big Al suggested.
