No, SATA drive, with Windows in C: drive part of the hard disk, and
everything else in D:
There are two external backup drives, but no lights flashing on those.
Long shot, I looked at the Indexing service, that says the indexing is
complete and it's only indexing D: drive plus the essentials anyway.
Whetever is going on is local and internal to the PC, there is very little
or no network traffic incoming or outgoing.
I ran the usual Windows troubleshooters which reported nothing at all.
Totally mystified what's going on.

Was a long shot, but this sounds legit. Does the system still use IDE
drives? When, for some reason, the error rate of a device goes up the
IDE controllers used to switch from DMA to PIO mode, rendering the
drive dead slow. You can check this in the device manager. I think
this is gone with SATA, though.
