A friend gave me his PC to look at, so I downloaded a program called FreshDiagnose (http://www.freshdevices.com/freshdiag.html). Using this program I did the hard disk benchmark test and the results seem a little odd to me. The average write speed was pretty low at 3.86 MB/s, while the average read speed was really high at 231.84 MB/s. I used the program on my own machine to see if the results were normal, and they both came out to be around the 24 MB/s area, which seems normal I guess. Could the slow write speed be the reason it seems to be booting slowly? Is this normal? The hard disk in question is this one: http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=83
