2nd hard drive problem with intel application accelerator

[soum2]

Hello,
My system is W2k NTFS,SP4,20GB HDD,256MB SDRAM. I recently got a 80GB hdd(Seagate ST380011A) and put it in as a slave drive. It was working fine until i wanted to play a video file from it. It was stuttering and i couldn't put my video files on it. I downloaded a software and did a hard drive test and got a read burst speed of 3.1Mbps whereas my old drive showed 76Mbps. The performance was unusually slow. So i downloaded the intel application accelerator and installed it. It now takes around 20mins to boot and windows does not recognize my slave drive...it shows up in device manager and bios but not in windows explorer. Even intel application accelerator report shows the drive. Any idea what the problem might be ? I am pasting the report on my hdd's and motherboard

Disconnect the new HD, and if the system boots in a normal amount of time, then make sure all of the drive's connections are secure.
If ok, then connect a different power lead to it.
If no luck, then install a different known working IDE cable.
If still no good, then see if the drive works ok on another system.
If the same problem happens there, then the drive is probably bad.
