    Win 7 installation running very slow


    Hello,

    My friends Lenovo B4500 laptop crashed and Im trying to fix it.

    First time I have installed win 7 on this pc it was done in a hour now i havent even started instalation and it took me 2 hours to get to the screen where you can choose on which disk you would like to instal win on.

    even commands in cmd are taking minutes to execute

    I thought that there is something wrong with the hdd so Ive tried chkdsk on a formated C: where I want my win to be installed but it keeps telling me that it is locked or readonly

    so I have tried diskpart attrib disk and vol but it says that its readonly: no

    so Im confused now

    Can anyone help me?
    Is the hdd broken?
    what could be the problem and how to fix it?

    Test the HDD with the maker's HD Diagnostic then run a full Disk Check from the disk System Recovery Options Command Line to confirm the HDD.

    Then once HDD is confirmed work through these steps for Overcoming Windows 7 Installation Failures - Windows 7 Help Forums.

    If HDD is bad replace it and skip to doing the Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

New Installation Running Unusably Slow
in Performance & Maintenance

I just did a clean install of Windows 7 from a legitimate copy of Windows 7 professional (obtained on academic license through MSDNAA). However, it is running unbelievably slow. It works, but whenever I launch an application or really do anything, it sits and waits for at least 10 minutes. The HDD...
