Hp probook 4403s run slowly when copy data

Question

Why do my hp probook 4430s core i3-2330 with 4GB ram, 500GB HDD run slowly while copying data? (tested in win8-64bit, win 7-64 bit, win 7-32bit) My HDD is tested. It is in good condition, no bad sector. When i copy data (between logical drives or external drives), my laptop is running slowly and lad. It runs like a old computer with pentium 4 and ram 500MB. So, when i copy data, i do nothing and waiting it completed.. My old laptop with core2duo and ram 1GB give me both copying data and do another things like browse web easily?
Please help me solving it.

Hey mayouly,
While "slow" is a subjective term, I want to give you some things to consider. You may already be aware of these things but I wanted to put the information out there, just in case. Over time, hard drives accumulate data and the more full they are, the more time it will take a to access data, in turn slowing down the copying process. Also as you use your computer, the services running in the background accumulate and can be set to run on start up without you being aware. To check what is running in the background,
Bring up Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) > Click on the Processes tab > Click on the Memory column to put in descending order. 
This will put the heavier, resource-hogging processes at the top. Sometimes anti-viruses may have an updater service going, or another 3rd party program may have an updater service running without you knowing about it. Like I mentioned, these processes could be installed set by default to start up when you power on the computer, even if you don't open that program. For instance, after installing iTunes, the applepush (iTunes' updater service) will run every time you power on the computer. This is not the only program that sneaks these services in. Browser toolbars will sometimes do the same thing. You can also check to see what is starting up at power on by using msconfig.
Click the Start button > Type "msconfig" > click "msconfig.exe" > Click the Start Up tab.
Every thing that is checked must start at power on. There may be some unnecessary processes in that list which can simply be unchecked. You'll want to use caution though because something that may look unfamiliar might be a required driver for your computer, like audio or touchpad software. When you're done making changes, Click Apply. It will prompt you to Restart. You should see a difference, if you can get rid of some unnecessary processes running.  Of course, every computer can use a recovery periodically, to clean up the clutter in the registry and get rid of unused applications and processes. You'll need to save your personal files on an external hard drive before performing a recovery because everything on the hard driver will be removed and Windows will be reinstalled. 
If you go through these steps and the computer still seems slow, or if the computer has always seemed slow since you got it, you may see an increase in performance by installing additional RAM. If you haven't already used HP System Diagnostics to test your hard drive you will to follow these steps for a Hard Drive test.
Turn off the computer.
Use one of the following methods:
Turn on the computer and immediately press the F2 key repeatedly, about once every second, until the HP System Diagnostics program opens.
OR 
Turn on the computer and immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup menu opens. Then press F2 .
The System Diagnostics window allows you to run several diagnostic tests. Each test determines if the hardware is functioning properly, and displays an error message and a warranty ID if there is a hardware failure.
I hope these steps help. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll keep an eye out for your reply
