Very slow pc suddenly

Last week I get a message that my HD is failing, to back up and get new HD, at the same time the pc became extremely slow I thought it was because of the HD failing. So I installed a new hd WD 60 gig Caviar got the new bios and stuff.(this hard drive used to be the slave and is only 12 month old I formatted it and over wrote it with 0's for clean install)
but pc is still slow, to give you and idea how slow I took my time to install XP it took 10 hours too load the cd and install and restart ??
I have checked out the ram seems to be ok
Changed the wide cable between MB and HD no difference in speed
It is also telling my that it can not find harddrive disk 1.

Dell 8100
P4 1.4 GB 423 socket
512 MB Dynamic Rambus
Nvidia Gforce4 ti 4800e

It used to be fast had it tuned so it was faster than my Dell 8250 with P4 2.8GB 256 MB ram

Thanks Piesen
