New Case, new problems?

[Mnx4]

So I just got a Cooler Master 690 case, upgrade from a Lanboy case. After I installed everything, I booted up and the computer was really slow to boot up totally into windows. The icons took forever to load up, then accessing anything took forever. The computer would just totally lock up after about 10 mins.

I checked disk manager, and my 320GB drive came up as unreadable and dynamic. My other two drives came up as basic and online. I disconneted just the 320 drive, and it was still pretty slow. Then I disconnected my other backup drive (E), so just the C drive was remaining. Windows took less time to boot, but it was still longer than normal. I could navigate easier, but the start menu would take some time to pop up. Typing in firefox would stutter as I tried to find some solution.

All hard drives were recognized in Bios. All drives were recognized in windows, but F was undreadable. I checked the paging file, and that was set up just fine. I checked to make sure all plugs were connected to the motherboard.

The only things that were changed was a USB front panel plug was installed, and an HD audio plug from the CM690 case was installed. I'll check those in the mean time.

Computer parts:
e2180 @ 3.2GHz
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
2GB DDR2 pc800 Corsair ram
WD SATA 120GB (C drive)
WD IDE 120GB (E drive)
WD SATA 320GB (F drive)
7800 GTX

Running windows XP, SP2

TLDR:
-New case
-Very sluggish
-F drive unreadable
-Don't know what changed.


Any Ideas?

EDIT 1:08am:
Ran chkdsk on my C drive. So far, I got this:
Stage 1 of 5:
File Record Segment 10088-10091 is unreadable
Stage 2 of 5:
Deleting index entry desktop.ini in index $130 of file 10029.

It sounds like a bad case of static electricity.

If you suspect the case to be the issue, you need to remove the motherboard from the case and troubleshoot it outside of the case. You also need to check the case to ensure that there were no loose items and/or stray motherboard headers that could have caused a short.

Just went ahead and converted it to a basic disc. Lost all my data, so I'm trying to get it back now. Computer is doing pretty well, but still sluggish in some areas. Boot time and windows load are a little sluggish, but not as bad as before.

Check that your cables are secure, and no cable ends are damage/broken due to moving to a new case, or that you forgot to plug something in.

Make sure nothing is touching your motherboard either (from the case).
