It turned out that the hard disc is defect!

Hi there,
Try System Restore to see if it fixes any
problems. You'll need to restore your
computer to the point before this error
occurred. If it does not work, then it might
be that your hard drive has decided to fail
on you (go to Start, Run, type cmd, then type
chkdsk to see what it says; if it says "xk in
bad sector" where x stands for number of
kilobytes, then your hard drive is useless.).
It could be that some kind of program has
messed of MBR (Master Boot Record) of your
hard drive or a floppy drive (if it is
damaged, the only way to restore it is
reformatting it and reinstalling Windows from
scratch.
Cheers,
Joseph
