Title: Hard drive problems
Post by: HybridZero on January 06, 2008, 01:20:30 am

So suddenly my hard drive is reading extremely slow - windows takes 45 minutes or so to boot up and once I'm finally in, something as simple as opening a folder takes approximately 10 minutes. I haven't had any software or hardware changes lately. Is my hard drive screwed? Anyone have any ideas?

Could be a dying drive.

Check your running pocesses, and run adware/virus scanners. You may even want to try a restore point.
