Reply: Would you care to tell us why and how you formatted the HD in the first place? This usually shed some lights as to why your OS is running slower. i_XpUser

Reply: ok, on my computer i have a dual cd drive. And one of them was not working properly so installed a (NEW) (DVD-RW,CD-RW) from SONY. And everthing was going OK till i realized that my second CD-ROM on the bottom was not working!! so my dad tried to install the bottom cd rom again. That's WHEN my computer REALLY REALLY slowed down. i conldn't figure out what it was so i FORMATTED it using the MY RECOVERY CD for Dell for WINDOWS XP. It didn't help so can u please tell me what i can do to FIX this MAJOR PROBLEM.
