Re: [OM] File losses

I agree with Moose.  You very definitely have a serious hardware 
problem.  The only thing I can think of that could cause such 
egregiously poor performance is a failing disk or controller on the 
mother board causing continuous error conditions but eventual success 
due to error recovery... or possibly some serious memory management 
problems.  In fact, I can't even really imagine what is wrong since I 
can't imagine any computer (that works) being that slow at anything.
I also suggest that you run HDTune found here.  Works on all Windows 
versions from Win2000 onward. <http://www.hdtune.com/download.html>
Note that the free version is functionally very limited but you can get 
the Pro version on 15 day free trial which should be long enough to help 
diagnose the problem.  Click on the highlighted 
"hdtunepro_550_trial.exe" to download the free trial version.
