Before writing zeros to the drive, did you run the manufacturer's diagnostic
utility?  If you can, use this utility to do a surface scan, as well.  It
sounds like one possibility is that this drive may be on it's last legs.

Subject: [PCBUILD] computer real slow


I wrote zero's to the hard drive and then reinstalled windows which took
several hours. what I mean is when it say 33 minutes remaining to load files
it took several hours instead of 33 minutes.Once I finally got windows
loaded it is just really slow, Like for something that should just take
seconds take sevearal minutes.
