Hard Disk formatting issue

    I have a Sony VAIO VGN-A517M.

    The issue I am having is it takes a ridiculous amount of time to transfer files (copying or moving) from the C:\ to D:\.
    I'm talking 200mins+
    Transfer size's would vary from 100 MB to 16GB
    USB 2.0 external hard disk is quicker!

    I don't experience these issues transfering files around on my C:\

    I figured it was time for a rebuild. So I reinstalled XP Pro and formatted the C:\ and D:\ drive.

    This hasn't solved the issue with the D:\

    Running error checking didn't find any issues.

    The quick format completed but the the full format is stopped at 34%.

    Any suggestions?
