Hi
Well, it's not much that it's slow, it's just that whenever I turn it off, it like, waits 2 minutes and then the harddrive starts turning off stuff. Same goes for the start-up. What's the matter, what keeps the thing from loading?

check your control panel/system/hardware/device manager/ ide/atapi sata controllers and make sure they are set to DMA, if they are set to PIO that's probably your problem.
