I agree with Moose. You very definitely have a serious hardware problem. The only thing I can think of that could cause such egregiously poor performance is a failing disk or controller on the mother board causing continuous error conditions but eventual success due to error recovery... or possibly some serious memory management problems. In fact, I can't even really imagine what is wrong since I can't imagine any computer (that works) being that slow at anything.

I also suggest that you run HDTune found here. Works on all Windows versions from Win2000 onward. <http://www.hdtune.com/download.html> Note that the free version is functionally very limited but you can get the Pro version on 15 day free trial which should be long enough to help diagnose the problem. Click on the highlighted "hdtunepro_550_trial.exe" to download the free trial version.

Estimated completion time is about 5 days hence - varies greatly from
time to time. But that is for only ONE of the two drives I want to back
up. Novastore allowed my to schedule two drives at once.

That is ridiculous. You might want to run down full details on your
hardware and connections here, in hopes that someone will spot the
problem. Or take it to a pro. HDTune can tell how fast, or slow, your
drives actually are, as seen from the CPU.
