This is what I meant by intermittent problems. Sometimes it worked well for hours and other times it sputtered and slowed to a crawl. I also thought it was software and did multiple restores, virus scans, etc. but it was a couple bad sectors on the hard drive. If you don’t do the error check and lock out the sectors, you can seriously fragment the files on that drive.
I did the error scan earlier today, it still does it but much less frequent, looks like I need to do some downloading of video files, defrag, and rescan
