Hey all,
My system has been slowing down alot lately...
The Memory, Processor etc...all seem to be working good...
But when I do stuff, such as accessing the HDD or copying files from HDD to HDD... it takes unusually longer than before...
Everything takes longer when using the Harddrive... and I reinstalled winodws 3 days ago...It actually works slower now with new windows than before...
I was reading about formatting HDD's a while ago..and it said that if the Harddrive was used before..then do a full format not a quick one...
>>>I've formatted my drive using the quick option at about 5 times in the past year...
Could this be the problem?
Should I back-up data once more and do a full format?
Also I occasionally hear soft buzzing sounds coming from the harddrive...Don;t know if this is good or bad cuz I think I've been hearing it for the past year...
