I have a WD800BB 80 GB IDE hard drive, and its got some issues. When i was running it solo with windows xp on it, it kept displaying a "delayed write failure." So, I reformatted my computer, but it kept happening still. I reformatted another time but this time put a 20 GB crap hard drive as the primary. This works, but the 80 GB is still acting funky. It still has delayed write failures, and it runs really really really slow at times. At first i thought it was the cable, which was a 40 pin 40 cable IDE ribbon, and i replaced it with an 80 cable 40 pin IDE ribbon, and it still doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
