SOURCE: Still needed solution of problem

This condition is caused by spyware,hard drive problems. First create a restore point, then run this script http://winhlp.com/tools/resetdma.vbs reboot and should do the trick. After XP tried to access the hard drive without success for any reason there is a register counter that downgrades the speed of the hard drive to PIO. Good Luck!
