Could be, but it could also be severely fragmented. I would try to defrag the disk first. And don't use the inbuilt defragger, use Diskeeper instead. Other things you could try are, defragging registry, cleaning registry and so on. Tuneup utilities is able to do those tasks. A questions, do you hear ticking and other weird noises from the disk?

you say when you're playing winamp and you download something to the disk then the sound lags. Are you in that situation playing something from the same disk or are you listening an mp3 from disk "A" and downloading to disk "B"?

I have my mp3´s on another disk.
Like this:
Winamp is running from C:
Downloading to F: (the WD)
And mp3´s are on L:
Razor1394:
Thank you for you help, i´ve already defragged with Windows´ built-in, but i´m gonna try Diskepper. And no, no strange noises. And if this POS crashes it´s the second one! Me and a friend each bought ourselves one WD120, and bith his and mine crashed....I will never get a WD again.
Note: I´m starting to think this has something to do with windows update...i updated recently, right around when this started happening...

Also, check that you don't run the drive in PIO mode. Another good thing to do is to check the driver that the ide controller uses. You may need special drivers for your motherboard or Ide/sata controller. Are you using blank XP, SP1 or SP2? If you tried all that and cleaned/defragged registry + cleaned corrupted app entries, I would reinstall.

I think i found it!
i Went to Device manager, then checked the IDE-channels.
Secondary IDE Channel Properties:
Device 1
Device Type: Auto Detection (not editable)
Transfer Mode: DMA if available (I can change to PIO mode only)
Current Tranfers Mode: PIO Mode (wtf?)
How do I change this?

Hmm, then it must be something wrong with the controller. Try finding drivers for your motherboard or controller card as I said before.
