Hmmmm... Its possible that your harddrive is on the wrong setting. It has your whole computer waiting to get stuff off it.

Do to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Click Hardware Tab -> Device manager.

Find The "IDE ATA/ATAPI" expand it and right click on primary IDE controller and choose properties. Click the advanced settings tab and make sure that transfer mode is DMA. If it is PIO, change it to DMA and do the same for the secondary IDE Controller.

Thats all i can advise you to do. If that dosent work wait until one of the professional computer guys post an answer in this topic.

Hope it helps...
