Eaven if i copy from computer... NIGHTMARE.

What are the specs of your computer?

Try properly reformatting your computer or buying a new hard drive. Sounds like it's nearing the end of its days...

impossible.. few months ago it was running fine but now its ass!
and i was joking about a 2002 pc thingy

Duh... I recently installed Windows 7 on an old 160GB HDD that had Windows XP SP3 on it, formatted C (left all the data on D intact), installed Windows 7 32 bit, and all the games that were in D are running just fine, so do installing such. Or just... get a new rig.

There could be many reasons why it is running slowly, have you run a de-frag? Can you actually tell me the specs of your machine, and generally how old your hard drive wont effects performance, unless it is on its way out.

when i want to defrag it it only shows me system reserver which i was suprised becuse D, C, E, should be shown

intel p4 3.2ghz
ati radeon 4600HD
4gb of ram

But thats pretty good specs, you should just try to get a new HDD or reinstall Windows 7

yea it might be a HDD but im planning to buy a new comp.

Seems like you have a corruption issue, if windows can not defrag the other partitions, it means it cant see them, it should be able to see all drives, what file system are they?

wtf they are all NTFS??? i mean months ago they were FAT

pretty sure Windows 7 default file format is NTFS

Exactly.

idk cant remember
