Default Slow Formatting Burning And Installing


I have a no-name machine, Intel Core2Duo with 2GB of memory running Windows
XPSP3. Motherboard is Gigabyte GA965P version 1... I believe it is version 1
as the version number is blocked but when speaking to the company, they said
based upon the location of the writing that is the version it is.

The problems are communications internally ..... Burning a cd can take
almost an hour ..... installing a program from cd or dvd takes forever ....
and formatting a 250gb sata internal drive is 10% done after over 3 hours.

The main hard drive is a Seagate 160gb sata ... the 250gb is drive "d" and
while I have had it sitting in the machine connected, it was previously not
formatted..... probably because I ran into this once before and cancelled the
format.

Any thoughts on what settings I might look to change ?

Thanks,
Sarah
