Any number of things sadly! Installing new sofware, can and sometimes does without knowing effects the performance of them, outdating of the drivers etc. Hardware may also do this, there may not be a compatiblity between them with the current drivers. Trace back to when you first noticed the slower/weaker performance, and think about what you did to the computer at this stage? Also Viruses!

If both of the drives are broken, try putting them into a different machine to see if they work. If not, the drives themselves are broken. If they do work in a different PC then you have either deleted the drivers for them, removed them from the BIOS or changed a system setting. As tuddy says, try and remember if you changed anything before the drives stopped working. If you are on XP you could try using System Restore.

Hi justdoit8319, I agree with both tuddy & rvalkass comments .. re: > QUOTE Any number of things sadly! > QUOTE Installing new sofware QUOTE >

Be sure to post back with the news/results here or for more help. Hope this helps RGPHNX

Looks like Seagate slipped up and accidentally released a PDF specification of their upcoming 750GB

perpendicular recording technology ranging from 200GB to 750GB in capacity. The Barracuda 7200.10

shipping them this year. These 7200RPM drives will come with either 8MB or 16MB buffers, and the
prices of 500GB drives should drop upon the new Barracudas’ release. http://www.ehomeu...
How Do You Combine Removable Drives In To One Big Drive?
- (7)
Now this is very interesting and confusing at the same time. I have been told that it is something
that is good useful and can be done. To combine all the removable drives you might have and put them
all in to your main Hard Drive so then you have a bigger memory. The reason I am asking how to do
this is because I always seem to have problems wioth my PC as it seems to run brilliant for a couple
of weeks and then it goes slow like a snail but I've never been able to find out why? Would
combinign all of my removable drives with my main Hard Drive make my PC run a lot...

Ok, I hate to add to the many boards about CD Drives, but I have a major issue with a friend of
mines computer. Ok, the problem is the DVD and the CD Disk Drives are not showing up, at least
properly. She just recently had to get her power supply replaced, because we believed a surge got

Problem With Cd/dvd Drives
- Won't read CD's (16)
I've had problems with my CD and DVD drive for a while now. First off, my DVD drive is +/- RW,
and it used to read CD's, after a while it stopped working. When I had my power surge I
mentioned that it didn't work. They replaced it. So it worked for about a day, then stopped
again. Well if I know anything, that's not supposed to happen. Now AFTER I had my computer
fixed, my CD Drive stopped working aswell. I just replaced my CD drive myself today. Still
doesn't work. I don't want to take my computer back into Best Buys because then I won't

Slow Internet Speed After Two Hard Drives
- as it pertains to internet (13)
I recently asked for help regaining info from one hard drive to another. Well now I have two hard
drives in my computer and I have rebooted both of them with XP Home edition. Well it seems that my
internet is actually slower though all the network and everything is telling me it is working at
100%. I have dial up netscape internet service. Is it actually slow? Or is it the fact that I live
in an area where fast connection really isn't in high demand thus no matter what my dial up
connection would be slow? What are your opinions....
