I am not very technical so please bear with me.
My son has an old hand me down computer. It is running XP Professional with a small hard drive (either 60 or 80GB).
He only does school work on the PC.
I have been using Norton Ghost 14.0 for years to back-up/image the hard drive. It has been a life saver. I back up every 6 weeks or so.
In Feb the back up took about 30-40 minutes ... about 40GB of data. Not much has changed ... but this monthe when I went to do a backup it showed 2 or 3 hours and after an hour it was only 30% done.
I tried different hard drives and ports on the PC. I checked for viruses and spyware (AVG, Adaware, Super Anti Spyware) and all is clean.
I restored the last image yesterday ... updated everything and tried to do a backup again and it said 2-3 hours. Again after 1 hour only 30% backed up.
Any ideas what is happening???
