...that doesn't sound slow at all for a harddrive.

are you saying its slower than it used to be?

 

[kr7777]

check all your HARDWARE drivers are up to date like sound, video, chipset, lan and bios firmware NOTE update in dos only when flash bios, make sure you have correct file for your motherboard version if applicailple

if a laptop go to manufactures site and get updates

Defrag the HDD. Make sure the OS is on the 'fast' part of the HDD.
See what apps are loading on startup. Turn off the ones you dont NEED to start on bootup.
Run Malwarebytes anda GOOD A/V to make sure you dont have nasties on the rig.
Update all the drivers and firmware to latest versions.

IF its still slow after doing all four. Then you have a hardware problem. Most likely its just a SOFTWARE problem.

are you talking about slow as in getting to the desktop or actually loading the desktop ?

Or are you talking about how it sits at black screen after you log in and wait like 1 minute before it loads desktop. I experience that as soon as I install all my Win 7 updates.

ok AKG my about half of the files are on the slow path what to do?

 

[kr7777]

you are also right moocow it does as you said . what is the solution of that problem?

actually i noticed all of the three posts (akg , shadowmeph , moocow) are correct about my problem.
slow as in getting to the desktop & actually loading the desktop also.
