The progress bar can be misleading on a copy; how long have you waited
before determining the Mac locks up? One way to test whether the Mac has
really frozen is to turn on your seconds in your Date/Time panel; if the
seconds keep advancing, your Mac is still working. :)  You can also launch
Activity Viewer prior to initiating the copy; you can see "hung" processes,
as they turn red and say that they are hung. If that doesn't happen, it may
just be slow, not locked up...
