hit control alt delete.  Then look at your processes and delete every process that it will let you delete except "Explorer" which is windows.  Then your system will run fast again.  Try it.  Seriously.  \n\nIt won't hurt your system....I promise.

It always helps to give as much information about your pc/laptop here and its specifications.  \n\nThe drive sounds fine.  The implication is that it is a graphics or memory problem.

What I would do is re-install Windows and all your software on the new HD and slave your current crashed HD without formatting see if you can recover any data from it.  Here are instructions on HD installation. http://www.basichardware.com/HowTo_Install_Hard_Drive.html

It errases all your data in your hard drive and brings your hard drive back to how you bought it. Once you format the drive its hard to get back the formatted data! But you do get softwares for that or you have professional companies, but it comes with a price!

You can do it two different ways, just reload the operating system (and all programs) or format the drive and start all over again.  If you choose the first option, you dont have to save the data, if you go with the second you have to.  Its always good to have a backup anyway, right?

You didnt say whether it was a new of just reformatted HDD, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and start from scratch in the long run it takes less time doing it the right way. FIRST partition the HDD THEN format the HDD go to run type cmd that brings you to the command line then type format space drive letter colon (format c:) that is from the old days now if you need to format a floppy substitute a  for c Once the HDD is formatted correctly, e is usually a CD or DVD drive unless you have multiple HDDs the easiest way is to go to "my computer" and see what is there. if something is missing many times a cable has been disconnected so open the case and check to see all the connections are in place and tight

Reformat the hard disk again. I think it should solve your problem.

What do you have - XP, NT or 2000?\nIn any case it looks like you need to use an emergency repair procedure or simply try to upgrade existing version with the same version. You could avoid loosing your data.\nIf it won't help you have more options:\n1. Try to connect your HD to a different PC and save data\n2. If this is not an option - reinstall fresh without formatting, it will preserve your data. Copy data, and reinstall with formatting for the clean installation

Thats a pretty drastic measure to take for "fixing" a computer that gets slower and slower! You do realize that if you do reformat, you lose EVERYTHING on your computer. Whoever told you thats how you fix it is an idiot.

If you are not formatting C drive then you need not copy any thing except the folder "my documents" the rest will stay as it is .After reinstaling you can load all your programs .

That happened to me before when I got my EMACHINE.\nYou will end up formatting your computer because its a disc boot problem or possibly a virus. Also a short circuit or a power outage can cause this to your machine if your machine was left on during a storm.\n\nTo format your harddrive you will need to get a recovery disc or a Windows CD. \nNo boot disc is necessary unless you are trying to install Windows 95. \nThe recovery disc will usually come with your computer, if you dont have one, you will need to call your computer manufacturing company and order one. \nThe recovery disc and the windows CD will partition your harddrive and it will wipe out your memory and start from fresh.

You have to format your computer to get that back. Its your last resort when it comes to missing windows files. To do a backup you need your backup cd's.

1-Format it,so it will be formated,2-Format it again,so it will be reformated.\n\nAbout deleting the hard drive...that's a pretty hard question.My knowledge is bad on physics.\n\nI sugest to get some lessons for begginers,or to call a technician so he could guess what you want to say.
