Weird Problem

[Martin Racette]

Hi,

I moved my XP Pro from a SCSI 9.1Gb to the first part of an IDE 60Gb and since
the system is painfully slow, the second part of the 60Gb is for my D: drive
which house all my applications.

What could I do to get XP to a more normal speed, I know that an IDE drive
doesn't tranfer the data as fast as a SCSI, but still, just to open the session,
it take over 5 minutes, and it's same session as before the move.

Thank you in Advance

Merci a l'Avance

Run disk clean up
then defrag
also check that the drive is DMA - hardware devices. Do this first
the other stuff will run faster.

Do you have the SCSI and the IDE on the same pc?

This may not apply to you. I seem to read problems with SCSI and IDE
on the same pc. ANYONE have any experience???
