Yea the hdd could cause the problem. When you unplug it does the computer work better?

Maybe you need a new IDE/ATA cable for you HDD. Could be the problem or maybe your HDD is damaged in some way, how old is your HDD?

the hdd is a year old.

that's not old but maybe it was faulty?

it actually worked pretty well till two weeks back. i tried removing the old hdd and then using the computer, but it didnt make any difference. its still very very slow when running programs.

Have you tried checking your memmory? I know there isn't any direct link but there is alwys coincidence.

anyway, i think the problems fixed, at least for now. the hard disk is being detected and windows is running fine. i just removed all the wires and plugged them again!
