BSOD, can't access safe mode

ok, after trying many different methods and none being successful

i just formatted my hard drive and re-installed windows.

but now my system is running so slow, its almost unusable.
i'm not sure if this came from installing windows again, or what.

ok, so i went ahead and reformatted my drive.
what i didn't know what that the disc i was using was different than what was previously installed on my computer.

i was running xp home,
and the new one is xp media center edition.

its going so slow its unusable, is there any tips or anyway i can get the xp home installation disc???

If you have legal key of your previous xp home installation; you can use any xp home installation disk and use it.

Also; if there is nothing of importance in that harddrive; remove partition when you are re-installing, and make new one, then format it, and proceed with installation.
