I have a 40gb drive with 2MB buffer, 7200rpm. 8gb free space.
I have cleaned up the drive and have used two
different defrag programs. Both barely did anything. This drive used to
defrag much quicker with less free disk space. Everything
is slow... booting, changing directories, opening
files,etc.
Ran spy stuff, virus stuff - nothing shows up.
I'm wondering if it's a drive problem.
