you need a new hard drive, simple as that
that one is broken, worn out and useless now.

You seriously need a new hard drive. No software will fix a failing hard drive. If there is data you really need you may be able to copy it to a CD. Just remember that the longer that drive stays on the more you could potentially lose.

NO, it is not a failing harddrive…
You have a virus on your pc…
I sugggest you check this or format and reinstall your operating system
