That's more indicative of file corruption than anything being dead.

You'll have to go through a recovery process which I'm not familiar with or just re-install Windows, you'll lose all your data that way, though.

Because the solution to not being able to control your dakka is MOAR DAKKA.

That's it. We've finally crossed over and become the nation of Da Orky Boyz.

sounds like you corrupted your hard drive or it took a crap. Try booting linux on it via usb or live cd and see if you can still access the HD.
