Yes, Mudd. I agree with you. There are many honest experts here. We can depend on them. That's why I post my problem in this great board! I'll post the other problem. This time about my 40 GB Maxtor hard disk. It become sooooooo sloooooooooow! I'll post it on the hardware section once I've time. At this moment I have to concentrate on my exams. Thanks for your support. Actually it's my friend's problem. I just want to help her.

Jim,

Thanks for your support, too.

For all of the people here, thank you very much and have a nice day and happy weekend.

Cheers,

If it works but file manipulations (find, change, save, etc.) are getting slower and slower it is unlikely to be a hardware issue.

If you are seeing lots of hardware-type errors in your event logs, then it could well be drive or drive controller but if it is getting worse that quickly, failure probably isn't far down the road.

Best of luck with the exams.

 

Thanks, Newt.

I just run the diagnostic test from the Maxtor and it said everything is OK. But when I check the SMART status with the other proggie, it shows that the Performance having serious or severe degradation. The value for the performance is 1, while failure value is 0 (zero) and the normal value should be over 250.

The problem is that when I move one big file (e.g. 600 MB) from one folder to the other folder need time more than 10 minutes. My Pc is Pentium 4 2.0 GHz with 256 MB DDR 2700.

I bought it on August 2003, It is still in guarantee term? Can I claim a replacement from Maxtor? How?

Once again, thank you very much for your kind attention and best support.

Cheers,

Yasmin
