HDD speed getting slow while installing

[GabiDD]

As i wrote in the title my hdd speed is getting worse by the time while installing stuff. For example: i want to install a game like DIRT3 . For first half of a minute, maybe less it is getting installer really quick but slows dramatically within few second . So that , i need about 2 hours in order to install a 5 gigs game .

My question is : it is there any way to get my HDD to work as it should ? And where is the problem and how do i solve it ? Or can i solve it ?

My HDD name is : Seagate Momentus Thin 500LT012, 2,5", Buffer 16 mb
At this time I am using Wingows 8.1 64bit version

It may not be your hard drive, but something else slowing you down. First off run a chkdsk on your drive, make sure it has not developed 'bad sectors'. You can do this by opening my computer, right-clicking the 'c' drive, going to properties. When the new window opens, choose at the top 'tools', then 'check now'. The chkdsk window will open, click 'start', it will tell you that you must schedule chkdsk after the next restart, say yes and restart your computer.

Once this is done, see if installing a game is any quicker. If not, and you want to 'be sure' the hard drive is OK, repeat the above steps but choose 'check for bad sectors', it will take a loooot longer to run, but will test your drive for physical defects.

Once the hard drive is out of the way, we then need to do some clean boot troubleshooting, via MSConfig.

If clean booting does not alleviate the problem, we can try more stuff.

Some advise me the problem might be due to the windows . Though i'm afraid id is either due to the hdd build or motherboard wich slows it gradually . I'm not into computers, i don't know much . Might it be due to the windows though ?

There are various things you can try, like a different user profile, or safe mode. When this happens does task manager show anything using a lot of CPU cycles, or is anything thrashing your hard drive to make it at %100? If safe mode doesn't help (mind you you have no hardware acceleration so it would be slower, but definiately a lot faster than 2hours) then windows does seem to have a problem. If this has stopped working recently, did you try system restore? If it is a configuration/software/driver issue, then that should fix it. Another thought, overheating will slow you down a lot as well, if you can obtain some motherboard monitor software to test temps, might be of help also.

I think this might help:
My pc as usual .
http://
After i start the install (DIRT3 FILE) it gradually grows to 100% disk usage
After about 5-10 seconds the speed of the install drops like this :
http://
And even after i stop the installing file disk remains at 100% usage .
Also , my pc, wich is in fact a notebook isn't quite warm . It never gets over 40 degrees celsius
