Hallo everyone. I am new here, so i hope threat is in the right place. So, i have a very very huge trouble with my laptop. I have Dell inspiron 1525 laptop. I was running Windows vista ultimate. Everything was perfect. But i decided to install Windows 7. (I have this computer 2 years. I had win7 before, and it had no problems. But when i installed windows 7, my computer started to work very slow. I opened task manager to see how laptop is working. Processor works very slow... File transfering is slow too... what happened? help me guys. i have no money to buy a new laptop... ;(

So what does your task manager say, CPU and RAM usage
what kind of speed of HDD you are getting

TO be honest just reinstall again!! and see if that fixes it.

Make sure you have all the drivers installed

go to device manager and check!

i reinstalled my pc ~5 times when it got laging.
task manager CPU show very big amplitude. sometimes it shows 0%, 5%, i seted to high performance, so i saw that pc became little faster. but now i am restarting it, he loads so very slowly... 10minutes passed, pc didnt loaded up, its still loading.
HDD is showing 0b/s sometimes it up's ~200b/s or more...

It looks to me like possible hard drive problem.

Run hard drive diagnostics: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287 (or http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28744&hl=hard+drive+diagnostic)
Make sure, you select tool, which is appropriate for the brand of your hard drive.
Depending on the program, it'll create bootable floppy, or bootable CD.
If downloaded file is of .iso type, use ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/ to burn .iso file to a CD (select "Write image file to disc" option), and make the CD bootable.
For Toshiba hard drives, see here: http://sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Pa...rivesUSandCanada/SoftwareUtilities#diagnostic

Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps here

No, you need to get Data Lifeguard Diagnostic v5.04c for DOS (CD) (June 2004)
That will download .iso file, which you have to burn to a CD, using ImgBurn.
That will create bootable CD. Boot from it and test the drive.
