i bought a new hdd[250gb],couple of weeks ago.installed a new windows[windows xp sp3].i was using internet of gp as smile had "those problems."i used gp net for a couple of hours and then shutdown my pc.when i again started my pc a few hours later i could connect to the internet but no data came.like 20kB came in 2/3 minutes.then smile was back the next day.and i again i connected to the net using smile but the same happened with no data coming.i then booted from the old hdd which is still running now on my pc with windows xp sp2 in it,and the net was ok!!!i was using my old windows even though i needed to sell the old hdd.i again installed new windows today but and i connected to the internet but same happened again with no data coming.again i have turned back to my old windows/hdd and its fine again.plz provide me with a solution as i need to sell the old hdd and more because my old windows isnt in the best of conditions.

Obviously the problem is not with your new hard disk.. its with the installation.
You will have to provide more information like what antivirus you use.. if you use windows defender or not and whether your lan driver is updated or not.
Try disabling your antivirus and all firewall (including windows).. if that does'nt work, try installing sp2 then check your internet, you can install sp3 later as an update. You should also check your mac (if your ISP gave you one) and user name/pass.
I never used SP3 directly, I always used sp2 first then upgraded it into sp3 and I never faced such problem.
Good luck!
