I had this problem for a while with my Sony Vaio. It turned out to be a software conflict between MusicMatch jukebox and I think it was my anti-virus. I would look into something like that in your system.

I have a Vaio GRT270P with the nVidia GeForce 5600 Go. P4 2.8GHz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB 5400 RPM HDD, 8X DVD-RW DL. If you are interested...

The throughput on the drive is going to be a function of the drive cache and the transfer rate. If those are the same between a 5400 RPM drive and a 7200 RPM drive, and the transfer rate is high enough, then the 7200 RPM drive will...

I would buy the small drive, pull it, put it in an external case, and install a 7200 RPM drive. http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec....iteria=AA48790 This drive is similar to what I run in my Sony Vaio, and it runs a little hot, but...

If you set the swap file size to zero on your internal hard drive and have enough RAM to handle the transfer, then you are probably goign to come out ahead. But otherwise, it seems to me that you will be doing just as much damage to the...

re-install IE6. Just because you can remove it doesn't mean you will be able to do things without it.

In your position, I would obtain a copy of XP Pro with SP2 and a legal key, then find out who made the hard drive - probably Hitachi - download the hard drive tools, use them to wipre the drive, then start over with the XP Pro install.
