I have a Packard Bell Laptop/Notebook PC with Windows XP installed. It has the Vista Transformation Pack 6 & Samurize installed. It runs really slow (even though these themes take up very little cpu power, total cpu power is usually about 17% used & ram about 60% even with a ram usage forcer app) & video capturing even before these themes were installed was choppy. So I'm guessing that it's the hdd that makes things slow. I think it has a 5200rpm hdd, I want to upgrade it to a 7200rpm or faster hdd. How would I do this? I have a dvd with lall the Windows XP files on it including the I386 folder & I have a non-microsoft boot disc. I re-installed Widnows XP on the original HDD, so how difficult would it be to install it on a new one. Could I just format it via usb in windows xp & copy all the files over from the bootdisc, then plug the hdd in replacing the original one? would this work?
