Windows (Explorer, IE) locks on file delete.

Hi all. Recently, a friend has given me an old 13 gig hard drive. Because of the fact my old HD was a 6gig, I promptly repartitioned and reformatted his, to use as my primary and secondary partitions. I wasn't in the mood to play with reinstalling everything at the time, so I just ghosted my old drive to the new one. I've noticed one odd thing since then. Many times when I delete files, there is a noticibly longer delay then there used to be. When deleting things in upwards of 100+ megs, most of Windows, and especially IE and WinExplorer locks up for a good 30 to 50 seconds. This not only happens on the new drive, but also on the old 6gig which is attached as the slave drive. I knew that problems could arise by not reformatting after a significant hardware change, like a new mainboard. But this is just a hard drive... Does anyone have any ideas what's going on, or how to fix it?

How about a reinstall?

Well, I was hoping to avoid a reinstall if possible. I'll do it as a last resort, but I'd rather not. Any other ideas on how to get it fixed? =/
