This may be a harddrive failure but the pc is a refurbished Hp that I've had about 9 mos.
It started running everything EXtremely slow 7 days ago.It is runninng winXp I've been trying to use Hp's system recovery features..System restore did nothing.To give you an idea about speed I went into Hp's recovery feature at 11 pm last night to recover xp which is in a partition on the harddrive ..It is now 8:18 am
& it's just 92% done. I will let you know what happens but With the harddrive running this slow on all programs & bootup does this sound like harddrive slow down[failure] to any else?
Has anyone run into this? After it boots to desktop it is still very very slow...I have Norton & Mcafee both installed...This is my Daughters PC so I'm not real concerned...I have 2 more but they are win98 & she likes hers.lol Any help appreciated.
