and This is my Hard Disk

When I copy things from one partition to another they transfer at a maximum of 30 MBps. However the drive supports upto 300 MBps right ?
How do I increase the transfer speeds?
P.S - Using Windows XP, All partitions are NTFS.
Also make sure to check for those settings harrymc mentioned in his answer. – Troggy – 2010-01-24T10:46:13.467
