I've got a couple of old Western Digitals that came with a floppy that
"repairs" 'em. When my brother-in-law gave 'em to me one was supposed
to be faulty- it didn't work. I ran the repair program on the disk and
all the memory, et al came back. I've been using it for over a year.

I wouldn't know. I don't use windows.

I tried that fix. I disabled my linux drive in device manager. But,
the problem persists.
I guess a good question should be: How fast a hard drive and how fast
a cpu do you need to run xp pro? I have a 1.1 gh Duron and an old
hard drive. Maybe I just have cheap, old hardware.

dd if=/dev/hdWHATEVER of=/dev/NEWDRIVE
of course if its working just fine with lindows, then i doubt there's
anything physically wrong with it, and its prolly just XP being stupid.

It's an old maxtor drive.
This drive mounts automatically when I start lindows, as it turns out.
Everything seems to be fine.
If I were to use dd, which options would write the whole drive contents to a new
drive?
Would windows boot from the new drive?

Suddenly (in fact, after running the lindows 4.0 demo cdrom), XP pro loads
and runs VERY slowly. The only other symptom is the fact the hard drive
light, instead of flickering when it starts up, stays continuously red.
XP has the HPFS/NTFS file system.
