check your device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. double click the primary IDE channel and go to advanced settings. do the same for the secondary IDE channel. see if it is in PIO for current transfer mode. if you have 6 consecutive errors in something to do with the transfer mode, it automatically reverts to PIO mode which makes the computer run choppy. if this is the case, i have a link to very easy to follow instructions for a 5 step, 2 minute fix. (it involves hacking the registry so you'll have to back it up, but it worked for me, so i figured id share the wealth!)
