Summary:Why is it so slow

Sender:Nathaniel Beck, Dept. of Pol. Sci.


I just installed (or had installed, I should say) a Seagate 255 40M
hard drive in my 6300. I have another identical machine with a 20M
Seagate 225(?). The 255 is supposed to be faster than the 225, but
it times out exactly twice as slow (either with the Norton Utilities
SI or with a stopwatch timing to load). I didn't do the low level 
format or anything so I assume I have whatever interleave Seagate
recommends. Does anyone have any ideas as to why the disk is so
slow?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
