Hello there, please help me figure this one out. Context: Windows XP SP2 +AVG free, +Kerio Personal FireWall, +Spybot, +AdAware, all behind very decent hardware firewall. AMD Athlon 1800, 512MB RAM, 200GB disk. System maintained under very strict discipline Disk performance is absurdly slow. 100 MB copy paste could take like 20 minutes or so. THE CATCH: the same disk, in the very same computer, accessed from another XP installation, works just "fine" - normal performance. Any ideias beyond the obvious (malware, drivers, updates, etc; all tried already) would be appretiated. Thanks a lot. Z
