The hard drive on my Gateway system crashed a few months ago. Gateway sent a replacement and since it was installed our system has run very slowly. We now have to reboot often. Any ideas?
 
Get the harddrives manufacture hardware test for the drive and run it, this will be run at dos prompt with a clean boot from floppy, so windows will have nothing to do with it. If it checks out good/check settings for timing in bios and check dma settings in windows device manager.
