My disk read/write time seems to me getting longer and longer all the time. When I reboot in verbose mode I get a lot of "Waiting for local disks" messages. Am I on the right track here? Do I need a new HD? Is this a typical failure trend? Any way to troubleshoot this more accurately? -- Gnarlie http://www.Gnarlodious.com/Entities/Computer/Cube/Cube.html
