I inserted my Windows XP Boot Disk and re-installed it on the SAME drive. DONOT delete the previous version of Windows and it works fine. You may have to install some of the previous software.

The Drive is bad. However, you can leave the existing Operating System in tack and re-install it again on the same drive (sort of dangerous) but it works. You still will need to get yourself a new hard drive sooner or later.

Did you try to Re-Install your Operating System. Do Not Delete the old version as it sit on a bad track on your Hard Drive.

Another option is to get and run SPIN RITE from GRC.

the issue is caused by a bios bug via Microsoft updates, you can resolve it by running a hard drive setup disk and reinstall windows . I used a western digital cd to repair mine. hope this helps you .
