What exactly happens? Does the BIOS POST? Do you get any message?
You added a new hard drive?
Is the old one still in there? If so does it have an Operating System?
IT is a gateway and when i turn it on the screen comes up that says gateway and on the bottom it says press tab for messages.I put a hard drive in plus sometimes when i go to a web site it takes a while to come up like mabe it is laging.
It would help us help if you could clarify and detail exactly what you are doing.
I know you've had several threads lately but I answer so many I cannot recall them all.
So please try and be as clear as possible.
Now:

Was it running before you put in a new hard drive? Is this new hard drive simply additional storage?
Is the old hard drive still in there? If so this has XP on it?

So now we've gone from not turning on to slow web sites.

Does it turn on? Can you enter Windows?
