Is there any way to copy a file faster in Windows Vista?

[bandit4910]

So I\'m copying an OS (Ubuntu to my flash drive.) it\'s taking 20 minutes...

I need Ubuntu so I can see if my Windows Applications will run with WINE...

I\'m in a rush because I have to take a shower soon.

I cannot leave my computer sit there.(My sister will go on it.)

Locking my PC just adds lag when I log back in...

Any way to make The process go faster?

vista is just plain slow. a large file (such as an os) will just take time. tell your sister don\'t touch it untill you finish your copy/pastes

That doesn\'t work .

Well I free\'d up some RAM.

Hopefully It will run faster now.

i jumped from xp to 7 after all the horror stories of vista. then again, we didnt hav a decent computer in this house untill i made the one i have now, and i really want my mom to upgrade. though back on topic: how old is she? if she is under 10 i would understand, my sister is 5, and the worst. if below 10 then tell her it extremely important she dosent touch it.

I have tried every trick in the book.

She doesn\'t play with anything I can take away...

I need blackmail....

Just get a good lock? Or jam the door, exit through the window, and repeat?

My computer is in the dining room...

(It doesn\'t have WIFI plus it\'s a desktop.)

There is only a few inches of wall in between my living room and here...

(We bought the house like this...)
