a guy i knew from dell tech told me xp has a program
inside itself that speeds up the hard drive but i dont
recall what it is ANYONE KNOW
 
Try Disk Defragmenter. (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools)

No such program. The hard drive always runs at the same speed. However the
drive can be made more efficient by reducing the number of seeks required to
read anything. This is accomplished by defragging the hard drive. (Reducing
the number of fragments that make up a record)
 
Might they have been refering to the Intel Application Accelerator? - see
Readme extract below.
