Ooops, I just noted that Lauren already mentioned use of the Windows Task Manager.  My bad.

Another thing you might try to help speed things up a bit is run the Windows Task Manager to determine if the slowdown really is drive-related, or whether one or more application's processes are hogging system resources.  You can do so by pressing the alt/ctrl/del buttons at the same time, which will open the Windows Task Manager window.  Click on the "Processes" tab, then look in the "CPU" and "Memory Usage" columns for percentages or amounts of memory that seem higher than most of the others.  Note: don't kill any of the processes by clicking on the "End Process" button unless you are sure it won't impact the other running processes.  If you're not sure, let us know which processes seem questionable.

HTH,
