A floppy drive doesn't just stop working after reformatting a HDD. Did you flash it right before that with perhaps a wrong BIOS release?

I got that one resolved just a second ago.........I cleaned the system earlier and the drive power cord got unplugged. Thanks. Still have the other issue though.

Do you use the integrated VGA or a separate AGP card ?

The Duron might be responsible for the Slowiness, too.

It's an AGP video card
