Hi,
I got a sata 2 hard disk (Seagate ST3250824AS - Firmware version 3.AAE) that still "works" but its really slow, so my os system (xp pro sp3) is most of the time stuck when I want to get data from that hard disk...

I recently formatted that hard disk because I thought the data was the problem, but it seems like it isn't.
So I did a benchmark with HD Tune pro 3.50 and it looked pretty bad!

Some one knows what the problem is?
And what can I do to fix it?
(p.s. there are only games on that disk - so not my os system...)

Thx, Fré
Sorry for my bad English!

Some one has an idea?

Or some one knows another forum where they would know the problem?

Thx for the support Seagate
