I have a HP S20 negative scanner and I have one problem with it: It worked
fine till I had to reinstall Windows (problems caused by my cd writer), if I
want to make a scan from more than 1200dpi the scanner is very very slow
(10-15 mins.). After the scan the software gives the message that my
computer can not kuup up with the scanner and that I most switch to the
lower scan speed, but this does not have any effect. The problem seems to be
caused by my harddisk, because when I hear some HD action during scanning
the scanner stops, reverses the scan direction, the negative goes back in
the scanner and the after a while the direction reverses again till the HD
has some action and than the negative goes back in and so on.
With my first Windows setup I did not have this problem, my computer is very
modern (PIII 450 ultra DMA).

Anyone have a solution?
