Hardware
i bought a new 640GB hdd and copied os (win xp sp3) partition of the old hdd (120GB) to the new one via norton ghost and replaced it. right now my system works too slow. i error checked the hdd but nothing changed...
what should i do?

Did you use the entire space on the new drive or did you set it to several smaller Partitions?
If you set it to several smaller Partitions it's possible that the Clone isn't on the Primary Partition particularly if the old drive had a Recovery Partition on it. When that happens the primary files needed to boot the system are no longer present and the system performs very slowly if it boots at all.

my old drive had 3 partitions:
C: 38GB
D: 80GB
E: 2GB (total 120GB)
I created 3 partitions in a new drive also:
C: 100GB
D: 200GB
E: 300GB (total 600GB)
with norton ghost i chosed partition to partion copying. the old hard drive did not have recovery partition...

Did you copy the Partitions from the Primary to the last one in order that the Partitions on the Original where created?
