This 1.8" Harddisks are laptop harddisks placed inside a 2.5" casing containing an IDE to USB interface. They draw power from USB only. you have no sockets to give A/C input.

IDE hard drives have a tendency to keep retrying silently if errors occur, rather than report the error quickly. You notice a general slowdown in performance. I would try a different disk to see if you get different results.

Hi,
some disks have "SMART" technology built-in (Self Monitoring something).
Google for "disk SMART utility" or something like that, download and run
the tool, it will tell you whether your disk supports it, and if it does,
how healthy it is.
I am not sure SMART works over USB too though.

SMART works over IDE interface. What OP is using is an IDE to USB interface. It is used as a removable storage device

USB would not prevent someone from implementing SMART; for it to be available,
both the disk, the USB-to-IDE converter and the Windows driver must support it.
As I said, I don't know whether the PC side is OK, and I sure don't know
about the actual device at hand.

How did you determine that there where no bad sectors? I have a drive that is dieing scandisk reports nothing wrong but the event log says otherwise.
Check the event log for drive errors.

I want to read data from a hardware device like time access punching machine.
What is the complete process to read data and storing into a databse from any hardware device.
If any one have some idea, please guide me.
Thanks,

I'll not just guide you, I am ready to write it for you, if the machine's manufacturer offers an API.
My rate is a moderate 450 EUR/day for full-time contract work.

Is there any tool which list an installable file paths in a system? for example if I run a setup, which installs some dll or sys files and also write a regestry entry, then is there any way to find those files and reg entries?

Although you asked in the wrong forum, I'll be kind and answer anyway.
You can use RegMon and FileMon (both from SysInternals) to watch the registry and file changes as the setup application is running.
Hope this helps,

The processors are Intel XOEN 2.40GHz and I thought all XOEN where x64 but the system type is currently x86? If I'd used a 64 bit OS would that change the System type?

A 2002 XEON is p4 based and AFAIK no p4 based CPUs that old had 64 bit support. AMD was first out the gate with a 64bit x86 chip, and IIRC the a64 dates to 03 or 04.
Xeon's are no more a single CPU type than celerons are, they're just intels fastest design using a different socket and typically with more on board cache.
you can check your cpu using CPU-z. IIRC for an intel CPU, 64bit support is indicated by EMT64 instruction support but I don't have a machine to test until I get home from work.

8800 GTX ultra. Check the actual clock speeds, alot of makers will try and overclock the chips slightly for an extra performance edge.

That's more of a religious question than anything else.
My card of choice is nVidia.
