    Hard drive is corrupted or bad (broken).
    You're in the Win7 forum, is this a Win7 or Vista computer.

      It is for Windows Vista and 7; he asked you because you did not state your operating system.

      HI, I recommending you to take backup first by using CD called hiren boot cd. let it install it,s own OS and after compilation of it's OS open my computer and take backup of your data. then take out this CD. and Install the os you want Install on your system. I hope U ll get out soon from this problem.

       do not worry this is os problem. there is no problem with HDD.

        As it is a pretty powerful tool it should only be responsibly recommended after the users skill level is determined...

        Just sayin....
