15 days back I re-installed Win7 (fresh) on my laptop.. after 2 days of installation the Windows would get stuck / very very slow (not even able to open start menu). I thought some problem with the windows / System Drivers.
then I again re-installed fresh win7 .. but still the same issue...

I suspected the HDD so preformed the HD Tune test...
Following are the results for my Laptop HDD test @ HD Tune Pro 5.5 -
can someone help me out to understand this results and wht should i do next?
