there are so many things it could be. but to make it easier for others that will be more help than i am, post the specs of the computer and all pertinent info. might makes things go a little easier in troubled shooting.

Installing more RAM is always a good starting point.
Also, if old drive was 5400RPM, a newer 7200RPM would make a big difference.
Will wait on specs before further comments.

Intel celeron 2.53 ghz cpu with 512 mb ram

Why did you install a new hard drive? What is the make, model and size of the hd?

Info I found about graphics

It uses the Intel Extreme 2 integrated graphics that uses 64MB of system memory. 3D performance is such that it cannot even play the most basic of PC games. The system also lacks an AGP or PCI Express graphics card slot for upgrading the video.

If you have 512MB of RAM and the video is using 64MB, then you have remaining 448MB for your computer use. That is one reason why it is slow.
Get more memory.
