Hey guys
Before I start here are the specs..
PCChips M811LU
1.6ghz Duron
256mb Kingston RAM
16mb Tnt2 pro
250W Compaq PSU
Lite-on 52X32X52 CD-RW
Toshiba 48X CD-Rom
Maxtor 20GB 7200RPM 2mb Buffer hard drive
Its a back up rig for web-browsing
So anyways, I got the HD used. At first it worked as it should, but after a while when ever I told Windows to do something or when Windows was booting it would take FOREVER. The hard drive activity light would stay on but I wouldn't hear the hard drive and after a little bit I would hear 2 "clicks" and then the hard drive would start spinning.. but still slowly
After the 1st 2 weeks I got this message

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I just reformated and reinstalled Windows but my computer was still really slow. And the other day I got that message again
I check Microsofts website and found this

but I still think its my hard drive... is it, or is it something else?
