Sounds like the repair install did not work.

Back your data up and do a *clean* install.

you didn't format it
back up your files
and select format during windows install (as in, not quick format)

It's immaterial if he selects quick format or full format, that's not why he
still has files on his HDD. The only difference between the two is whether
or not the HDD is scanned for bad sectors by chkdsk as it is formatted.

Check in your BIOS to see if your L1 or L2 cache is disabled... if it
is your computer will be bog slow.
