system running slow

lanzarobbie · 31 Jul 2011 at 09:43

Hi my second pc is running slow, i ran hd tune and the primary hd (sam 501) is dropping from 80 - 1mb.

ive tried my secondary hd (seagate) and thats getting around 70mb, so ive cloned the hd and re-run hd tune.

Now the seagate is running slow and dropping to 1mb and the samsung is staying around 80mb.

Task manager shows system is idle, no scans are being run?

Please help

the samsung is 500gb and the seagate is 250gb, the drives have about 230 gb on them.

I've swapped the sata cables between the drives and it makes no difference.

Thanks
