Hi all,

Just recently installed a new 80G sata 2 drive for OS, and a disk drive. The disk drive was running slow and eventually freezes. So i put my old one back in and the same happens. So i think it must be the hard drive. its a Western Digital 80G sata2. I have a 400G for my video media, and am running a Core2 E6600, with asus pn5 mb 2G ram and a nvidia7950GT.

Also the same problems with my 2G memory stick. When i try to drag files from disk or stick the drives just freeze.

Anyone any ideas on the problem. I can track the problem to when i installed the Sata2 drive (I think) as nothing else has been installed.

Would a problem wityh the harddrive slow down everything.

Also when startijng up pc it takes considerably longer now.

Thanx in advance for your help

Jason
