Hard Drive Problem

Help!  I have a major issue.  My computer runs real slow or freezes up.  I tried to run the diagnosis from the f12 prompt and I get a hard drive error:

Fail PSA V4213 Error 2000: 01 42.  Hard drive 0 - S/N SZTDJCOC124511, self test unsuccessful status = 7

I tried to do a recovery but that get hung up when it starts to write the emergency file by saying:

The instruction at 0x02eac245 referenced memory at 0X667a1000 The memory could not be written

Any help out there please!
