I think there is something wrong with my hard drive. I have a 12x burner, but it takes 10-15 minutes to burn a cd because it constantly has to rebuffer. It takes even longer to install games. How can i test the performance and get an accurate representation of how slow its going? is there a program to download?

It will benchmark your drives. Also make sure your burner and HD are on different IDE cables, and that DMA is turned on.
