Given the size of the HDD I'm imagining it's getting fairly old now?
Depending on how much it has been used and in what conditions, it could the the hard drive slowing down. This could also include bad sectors etc. which will cause the symptoms you're describing.
It probably has S.M.A.R.T which can be accessed by a few programs, I would advise you use speedfan http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php and see what scores its getting.
Peace, yo.
