Check your prefetch-make sure layout.ini was not deleted. Generally, deleting the prefetch is a mistake and should not be done. It will be rebuilt, however "layout.ini" may not be, in which case you will always run slower unless you manually rebuild it
Does your defragger optimize the drive by moving and arranging data so that files are contigous as opposed to just moving data so that used space is contigous ? Defrag page file:
Disable hibernation in control panel>power options
Set virtual memory initial size to 0, set maximum size to 0-
Start>right click My Computer>properties>advanced tab>in the performance box>settings>advanced tab>virtual memory box
Turn off system restore
Reboot
Defrag drive- if your internet is cable or dsl-disconnect modem, disable antivirus software
Re-enable all of the above- set virtual memory initial and maximum size to 1.5 or 2 times physical memory. Both values should be the same
Check transfer mode of drive
start>rite click my computer>properties>hardware tab>device manager>expand ide controller>rite click on primary ide channel>properties>advanced settings>
Transfer mode should be DMA if available
Current Mode should be dma not PIO
