What OS? Did you install all drivers after OS install?

If you put the old drive back in do things speed up again? It is possible that you moved soemthing during the HDD install.

Mobo make & model:
Proc model & speed:
Ram Speed & amount:
HDD Brand & RPM:
GPU:
PSU Wattage:

Is the computer slow at boot? Slow at loading programs? Just generally sucking? And what kind of difference are we talking about? Just lagging a bit? Or literally taking seconds longer to do similar tasks as the old drive?

 

[rohanget291]

yes it is very slow at the boot.it is slow as glue .specially it is very slow in accessing the internet

we need system specs to help further. This is not a normal problem, please let us know the hardware you are running so that we can help you.

It could be a 5400RPM disk which would make it noticeably slower IMO.

 

[CaedenV]

5400 would be notably slower, but not so much that you would think something is wrong. It is more likely a bad HDD, a slow/bad controller, something formatted with the wrong sector size, a jumper setting, a bad cable, or any number of things. But knowing what their hardware config is could point us in the right direction at least.

1GB ram and Win 7 (other than starter edition) is probably your problem!

 

[rohanget291]

the hard disk is a western digital cavier black 1tb hard disk with 32 mb la cache and 7200 rpm.
the computer has intel 82945g chiset
and dual core processor
1 gb ddr2 ram
and please tell me what else information you want

How do you expect to run anything with 1gb of RAM? And it's ddr2. Time for a pc upgrade.
