Well theres a easy solution to bring back your laptop from the dead. If your laptop has SATA II (Thats like a 3 year old laptop or little more) the best is to get your self a Solid state hard drive. These drives doesnt have any mechanical components that spins, rattles or grinds as your laptop does its thing. All this mechanical wizardry behind the scenes adds lot of times thus making us wait in misery.
So the solution, a SSD (Solid State Drive) does it magic using memory chips, high capacity memory chips a little bit like your system ram or memory. No problem at all, its silent, super fast since it has absolutely no moving parts.
My Acer Aspire 5735 (core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz SATA II) took ages to boot and if I had two three programs running it would takes ages to bring up what I wanted.
So I upgraded and believe me it only takes 35 seconds to boot windows with all start up apps. I know its little bit hard to believe but you got to believe it. I'll post a video later on to prove it.
Windows index Before upgrading ( Notice the Hard drive index 5.4)
And after it transforms to 7.6 (average is from 7-8 for Disk Data Transfer rate)
I'll just post a AS SSD Benchmark just for the techhies out there, the normal for a normal Hard Disk Drive HDD is about 70-80 MB/s ( My old Hitachi 250 GB Drive at least)
the SSD manages to a whopping eye watering 260 MB/s. Thats a substantial performance difference thats well worth the money. ( I had to spend about 120 USD for the OCZ Vertex 4 128GB Drive.) But its available from Amazon for much less. Buy it from the link below.
OCZ Technology 128GB Vertex 4 Series SATA 6.0 GB/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive (SSD) With Industry's Highest 120K IOPS And 5-Year Warranty - VTX4-25SAT3-128G
so there you go, no heading back to noisy and irritating mechanical hard disk drives anymore. This is the new way forward for performance in storage media.

Here is the Video as promised -
From 0:20 it starts to boot after the OS Selection and its full responsive after 0:45 so thats 25 Seconds to boot.
