Need help please. <-- noob

I reformatted my hard drive using windows 2000, installed that, then upgraded to windows XP pro, and now every time I load something on my computer, it hesitates every 2 seconds, like slows down completely for a second, then 2 seconds later it does it again, and again, and again... I don't know what it is or how to fix it. I tried reinstalling windows XP but that did not work. Any help???

another thing is windows loads really slow, slower then before i reformatted...

my suggestion is this, get the diagnostic tools for your hard drive, can download them from the mfg. web site if you dont have them, do a low level format, then use the windows install to create the partitions and format, i know why you install with 2k, then upgrade to xp, if you email me at known_criminal@msn.com i will send you a program that will make your copy of xp bootable with the instructions on how to do it(very easy) then use your xp cd to do a clean install. all you will need is a burner and a blank cdr.
add subject : boot xp cd
known_criminal, the underscore has to be there.
