Re: using Disk Cleanup on sp2

Thank you for the help. I really appreciate it. I think that advice is
somewhere along the lines of what my IT guy told me. But when I check under
device manager it says that the hard drive device is functioning properly &
also I am not having the restart problems anymore so it's confusing. Do you
know if sp3 replaces system32 files? Where can I download the original driver
for the primary IDE Channel? Does upgrading to sp3 automatically fix this
problem? thanks a bunch! <3

not post a HijackThis log on one of these newsgroups. You have

situation worse.

Getting back to your problem, I'm no hardware expert but I think you'll find
that some of your performance issues are wrapped up in this statement from your
post, "Primary IDE channels current transfer mode is PIO Mode." Take a look at
the For repeated DMA errors section of this article for more info.

DMA Mode for ATA/ATAPI Devices in Windows XP

Adding to that your comment about the computer restarting leads me to believe
that you may have an issue with a hardware device or devices.

Good luck
