Scandisk

[Warren Togami]

Try do a speed test with hdparm.

hdparm -t /dev/hda

Substitute "/dev/hda" with your actual disk device.  Be warned that if your
hard disk is failing this may cause it to stop functioning completely.

Also is DMA enabled?

hdparm -d /dev/hda

What IDE hard drive controller or motherboard chipset are you using?  Please
also e-mail the output of

lspci -v
