I have a HP AMD Turion ML-34 1.8ghz laptop and everything has been running top notch until I recieved an error one day saying "Operating System not found." I decided to reformat and ever since then everything has been loading slow. It takes a good 25 secs for a window or a program to load (used to load almost instantly). I have a 100gb hard drive and 1gb of RAM. I am pretty sure its not a matter of memory or space because I have way more space and resources than before I reformatted (had a lot more programs then). I am running sp2 on fat32. My guess the HDD is failing but i am not sure. Please help >> Stay informed about: WinXP slow performance

the model is dv8315ca... and I dont know if all the drivers were installed. I assume they were because I sent it in to the place I bought the laptop to fix it and told them to restore it to its original condition as when i bought it (when it was working properly).

Try Start, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Delete all but the most recent Restore Point ( Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup, More options). Run Disk Defragmenter in Safe Mode. -- Hope this helps.

gerry, i forgot to mention that I have already tried defragmenting, disk cleanup, recycle bin, removing temp files, cleared cookies and none of that solved the problem. This problem had occured right when I got the system back, which was before any clutter pile up.
