Did you turn on page file, indexing and add XP embedded EWF files & replace NLTDR? Compact flash have limited read/write capacity. XP is built for traditional hard drives and must be "tweaked" to stop the CF being hosed from too many writes.

@kuza261 Majority aren't. You're thinking of the IBM / Hitachi Microdrives. Unless you meant the interface is similar.

Wich is faster. With CF - SATA adapter or just put to the CF slot in front of PC? (USB I think?)
