[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1764364, member: 56379"] As you said. The computer is still slow after replacing the HD cable...this means that the cable is very likely not the problem. The fact that the computer is working now (but slowly)...does not eliminate hard drive failure as the REAL problem. Hard drives that are in the process of failing can sometimes work...and sometimes not. And eventually will not work at all. My conclusion is still that the hard drive is failing.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
