1. Delete unnecessary files, including all the old System Restore Files you can find. McAfee and other PC Tools can help you with this. This will also free up those deleted files, instead of just marking it for deletion.
2. Defragment your drive, and if you want to reinstall Windows, I'd change your partitions, if you have any...
3. ** OR Begin with some system tools from Ashampoo... Like the Magical Defrag... It works non-stop in the backgound to keep your disk defragged...
