Well, unlike Bob, I have had my coffee, and I don't have the slightest
idea of what you're talking about here. There is no "parameter" to
click on from the Start menu. Running "msconfig" does bring up the
System Configuration applet (sounds like the "system config" you refer
to), but it has no "hardware tab." Doing searches on "peripheral
manager" and "speed test" in Windows Help yields nothing. Thinking
that by "peripheral manager," you might mean "Device Manager," I
double clicked the IDE controller there, but there's no speed test
there ( I already knew there wasn't, but tried it because of the
possibility that SP2 might have added something new).
Are you definitely talking about Windows XP?
If you're stating that XP has built-in hard-drive benchmarking
capability, please start your explanation over again because the one
you just gave was utter nonsense.
