I also have an old 4GB Toshiba drive. So I am far from optimal - but I know it... I just re-installed Windows 2000 on i t (that used to work very satisfactory in that notebook before...) but Windows ia now even slower than Linux. There is definetely somethhing wrong with the equipment, I was just wondering if there are any Linux-based error analysis tools somewhere...
