use this program (XPSpeed) it speeds up XP. Its in a strange language but all you do is install it and hten on ur desktop there should be an XPSpeed icon and you double click that and it'll put stuff into your registry. enjoy!

It's probably the hard drive. We have a bunch of Dell desktops at work and have had some hard drive problem with 1 batch of order.

Have you tried running scandisk/chkdsk on the drive to see if it will find and fix the disk error? Do that and run defrag again.

Hard Drive free of errors and test showing it runs at 52mb/s per sec. but it's seems slow to me.
