If you aren't worried about losing the data on it...

Pitch it out and buy a new one.

Something like that happened to me. I bought my Dell Vostro 1500 about 4 months ago new. So after 4 months my HDD died and I had to get Dell to send me a new one. Man it was such a hassle for nothing. Sarcasm

A) If the data is not important proceed.
B) chkdsk /r x: (where x is your drive letter)
C) Try a regular format.
D) Low-Level Format (if you have no clue what or how, don't do this one)

From the sounds of it, 'chkdsk /r' and low-level format would be my options... (considering it's not important data on it)

What kind of hard drive is it? Is it a IDE or Sata? I can probably ship an extra HD to you.

If you're not worrired about losing data I would personally go with a low level format. Low level formats aren't recommended at all for anything however they can restore bad sectors on your HDD. You will PERMANENTLY loose all your data on there.

Tell me the drives make and model and i'll find you the proper LLF'er software for that drive.

Then you're pretty much fucked. You can't attempt to repair bad sectors without a LLF. You do realize this self destruction will only get worse over time. It would be wise to maybe backup your very important files/photo what have you onto DVD and format.

This is why I don't put any important documents on my older IDE drive. It's for all my random downloads and my My Documents, though that doesn't usually have anything important to me.

whoa.

Since you computer is old (I'm guessing), you can probably only put in a IDE hard drive, correct?

You can use SATA HD's on old computers.

You better stick with what you got. A USB will not connect a Sata hard drive to the Motherboard. If you motherboard is fairly old and only accept IDE connections then you will need an IDE hard drive.

"scandisk" used to do this in MS Dos, I'm sure Microsoft added a variant in Windows.

Looks like you have an error that can't be fixed by windows. There really isn't much else you can do to fix this. a LLF wont even guarantee a fix.

You need to absolutely backup your data and stop using that thing before you loose everything that's on it.
