Is this with expanded hard drive or a plain hard drive? I made my expaned drive into a reg drive and now XP is far more snappy and boots wice as fast.
Expanding, but I didn't run any drive tests. After defragmenting and compressing, the drive seems pretty fast - as fast as my other Wintel drives or faster.
