    For systems getting long in the tooth, (even if just a little) I would try Debian and maybe SliTaz. Or for a 'buntu, I would try Kubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot or Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.

    I would suspect the ATA cable.

    It's a real bad Fdisk bug. It always worked fine with another program to partition the HDD. I noticed this problem (or similar) back in 2002 when I got a Maxtor 4D080H4 80 GB.

    Intel processors, at least since Pentium 4, self-underclock if the temp is measured to be past roughly 85 C on the processor.

    Looks like it's not even recognized, even when it's Windows 2000. Like it thinks the OS is way too new lol.

    I gotten word that a throttling processor can cause the OS to report high CPU usage percentage. (When it self-underclocks because of reaching close to 90 C) The heatsink may not even be all the way on the chip. (more common with the darn 775 push-pin heatsinks than with a 478) Or a lot of dust.

    With the Award BIOS on Dell Inspiron 530S and Dell Vostro 200, "RAID" is AHCI. The BIOS menu calls AHCI "RAID" lol.

    Looks like a bad HDD. Slow booting is likely a symptom of a bad HDD.

    It's not 2006, so 3.5 is almost nothing. Roughly 3.5 is likely stock with many processors now lol. It's amazing how far we are with processors now.

    I just encountered malware on my sister's laptop not long ago. It has Vista 64-bit. When I let it load, then I can't use new applications, because I get a pop-up saying that (filename) cannot be executed. (for every .exe file I try to run) Does this sound familiar? And if I open Task Manager early, I can kill the malware process. The process name looked suspicious, had random characters. Then System Restore worked and I was able to get it restored to a date in 2010.

    I would replace the DVD-RW drive. Why would you do so? I am 100% confident that my suggested solution is gonna work. Sounds like the drive may be bad, because you also reported it hanging, then displays an error about it being corrupted. Especially if all new burns fail with the same symptoms.
