    I juts bought this lappy bout 3 weeks ago and right out of the box i noticed that the keyboard response time to type had a little delay...i figured this may be a driver issue....however the problem still slightly persists today...everytime i try to type fast, it skips out on a letter here and there.....

    so anyways, i did a pc performance test on pcpitstop.com and it detected that i have an unusual low disk performance

    Drive C has an uncached speed of 11 megabytes per second.

    Drive D has an uncached speed of -2 megabytes per second.

    For comparison, systems with the same CPU and clock speed as this one have a speed of 27.25 MB/s.


    Do i have a faulty drive? is it that im using win vista x64? do i need drivers?


    please help!!!

    did you try using a Live CD (either Knoppix or Windows PE)??

    try to boot off of one of those and see if the problem persists in those Pre-Installation environment... which primary uses all of the components except the HDD.

    Did the OS come pre-installed or did you install the OS?

    sorry I missed this when you replied...one of the most often missed drivers (and most important) is the chipset driver. Did you install it. It will make a big difference as far as disk response

    I'd recommend turning off hard drive indexing, and changing hard drive acoustics to performance. (If you haven't already).

    If you get the same performance after those changes I'd suggest shutting down all of the tasks running in the background, and see if one of them is accessing or slowing down your hard drive performance.
