A few weeks ago my old ibm 75gxp crached and i have recently got a new 60gxp and installed winxp. My problem is that my new hd seems to be much slower that the old one.
It takes several seconds just to open the smallest mpg file, and i can hear the drive swapping almost constantly.
I used to have 2 partitions on my old hd, one ntfs for windows and some programs and a fat32 for mp3 and movies and such. I tried this setup with my new hd aswell but i felt that it was slower that the oldone. I got a tip not to use different filesystems so i converted my fat to a ntfs but the disk still feels slow. I have tried various settings of the pagefile aswell (on my last hd i didnt use a pagefile att all) but nothing has resolved the problem.
I dont know what else to test, i dont want to think that my newer hd is actually slower that the old one. Is there any way to see which programs that are writing/reading from the hd at a sertain time ie when the hd is swapping?
