So I moved everything on one HDD to a bigger faster one and now everything seems a bit slower... not what I wanted...
I ran some tests and the new one is definitely a faster one than the other one, and that's all that's changed on the system... So why would it be slower??
Edit: I've also ran a defrag... no joy...

[QUOTE={ABK}AbbySciuto;22477500]Windows prefers clean installs because it knows where everything is on the drive. You screwed it up by moving it to a new drive where it has no idea where things are PHYSICALLY on the drive.[/QUOTE]
That makes no sense.
Just write down every application and any other little bits you got then just do a fresh install.

(I need to stop posting when it's late) I agree; I'm snipping that whole post now. I think my point was he shouldn't have cloned Windows onto another drive; he should have just fresh-installed on the new drive.
There's no difference. The file format is the same

Imagine this. You go to sleep in your room and have a pleasant dream. You wake up in an entirely different room, and you find out soon enough that you're actually awake. You wonder what the fuck is going on.
That's what Windows does when you clone it; it wonders what the fuck's going on.
At least, every computer in my school district did that when they re-ghosted new computers with old images.
I FIGURED THIS OUT!
So it's a Caviar Green 1tb Harddrive, this is why!!
The "Green" drive is "power efficient" so therefore it sucks! I didn't realize this at the time... Seriously, it does, I'm not the only one who complained, but i fixed this problem by "Re-Aligning" my drive, but by doing this, it's no longer power efficent, but idc, we're all going to die anyways, to screw global warming!
