Ok, Way to go. After downing a few shots for courage and taking backup of 80 GB of data I finally upgraded my system to RedHat 9.0 and yes Vivek you were right now my speed is as follows [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.45 seconds =284.44 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.69 seconds = 37.87 MB/sec And sometimes the buffered disk reads even crosses 40 MB/sec Just replied incase somebody else faces this same problem then he/she can learn from my "in"experience.
