You computer is/was infected by a virus. What you first need to do is make sure any virus software you are running is up-to-date and run a full system scan. make sure any viruses it finds are dealt with. you then need to go to Start - Programs - Control - System- System Restore and turn off system restore on all of your hard drives. This will remove your restore files from the system. This should not be a problem as you will be creating a new one shortly. Shut down the system. Restart the system and run another full system scan. If that comes up clean, go back into System Restore and turn it back on. You should be good to go at this point, so try to open a file on the system. If you require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

This couldn't be due to a malfunctioning fan, or any other hardware problem, it certainly sounds like a virus but it's hard to know. I advise using this guide t try and remove any viruses or malware.
See how to recover the files deleted from Windows Recycle Bin or with Shift + Del. The Windows operating system places all deleted files into a special folder named Recycle Bin. If an important file was deleted by mistake, you can always find it there. However, the size of Recycle Bin is limited, and the system empties it as it becomes full. What is more, the files, deleted with Shift + Del or larger than the size allocated for Recycle Bin, are never sent to Recycle Bin.
Read how to recover files deleted from Windows Recycle Bin or with Shift + Del - https://hetmanrecovery.com/file_uneraser/hetman_uneraser.htm
If you faced such a problem, just follow our advice:
1. Make sure your file is not in the Recycle Bin and you don't have its backup copy left. Your Windows may have enabled some backup functions, such as file history, restore points, system image creation etc.
2. Use the link in the description of this video to download and install Hetman Uneraser. Remember that you have to start data recovery as soon as possible, because the work of the operating system is connected with the permanent process of creating new files on the system disk.
Now let us see in detail how you can use Hetman Uneraser to recover files after Windows Recycle Bin is emptied or after such files were deleted with Shift + Del.
To do it, let's reconstruct a situation when important files can be lost.
• There is a folder containing various files on disk D
• Delete it by pressing the key combination Shift + Del
• as you can see the folder containing files is deleted, and these files cannot be seen on the disk or in Recycle Bin
So how can you use Hetman Uneraser to recover files after Windows Recycle Bin is emptied or after such files were deleted with Shift + Del?
• Click on "Wizard"
• The File Recovery wizard opens, "Next"
• Select the drive where the accidentaly deleted files were stored. In my case, it is disk D, "Next"
• Leave the default checkbox "Normal scan," "Next".
• In this window you can only specify the necessary file types to speed up the process of analysis and data recovery. For example, I will check "Selected file types" - in my case they are archives, audio, video files and images. When you unfold the list, you can specify even more which file types should be searched. I will leave default settings and click "Next."
• In additional options, you can specify the date when the files were created, opened or modified, and the file size to make the search more exact. You can also choose "Deleted files only" and other options. I will leave the settings as they are and will check "Deleted files only" because in my case I deleted the files - which means they were not lost, for example, as a result of a hard disk failure. Next.
• Wait for the process to be complete.
• The files have been found. You can uncheck the files you don't need and leave only those which are necessary, "Next".
• Here, select "Save to hard disk" and specify the path where the files will be recovered to. Click "Recovery" and wait - it can take some time.
• Ready.
As you have just seen, the program did the job easily and quickly, and it took me almost no effort, thanks to the user-friendly interface and an easy-to-use recovery wizard.
You should replace the hard disk. However, saving and copying your data is more difficult than simply replacing the hard disk. I suggest taking your laptop to a local service center for replacement. If you data is not important you can simply install a new hard drive and use a restore cd to bring your laptop to where it was when you first purchased it. Continuing to use your laptop with failed sectors will only result in lost data and eventually failure to boot up properly.
I purchase my laptop parts here and have been very happy:
What method did you use to try and format the drive? I would recommend that you try the WD Quick Formatter. It can be downloaded from the following link, where full instructions are also given.
Is the PC you've used before is the operating system is windows Xp? If you've using windows Xp before then you've plug it in a windows 7 Operating system, it means your hard disc have no problem the operating system of your PC is different than before. Try to plug it in a windows Xp operating system then recover it in there then format it in a windows 7 operating system then, the windows Xp and windows 7 try to make a network place in the connection then share the hard disc files that you've recovered then copy and paste it in the newly format hard drive that formated in a windows 7 operating system.
There are several walkthroughs on how to recover data
Try loading Windows Recovery Environment on Windows 7 disk
1. First we will be needing a windows 7 dvd (Any windows 7 disk will do ..home, ultimate...etc.)
2. Boot the windows 7
3. under the Install Now windows, click on Repair your computer
4. Choose Command Prompt among the list
5. type Notepad
6. From the Notepad GUI (Graphical User Interface) -> Click File -> Open
7. Open windows will appear
8. Try to path where the external hard drive is in. And select all files that you need to save. By simply copy and paste from where you want to save the files in
When you start to create the RECOVERY MEDIA your machine is creating a virtual file [a temporary one...] that includes all parameters and drivers and system files of your operating system; once the temporary file is done the recovery files are written on the indicated media [a hard drive or a DVD/CD]. Because of the huge size of the file [the temporary one] you need enough room for the virtual file to be created. So you got your error message just because you DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM on your hard drive. My suggestion is: find an external drive [a USB attached hard drive] and make the RECOVERY MEDIA there. Meanwhile try to clean up a little bit your hard drive by using that application in Windows called DISK CLEANER [START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > DISK TOOLS > DISK CLEANER].
My best regards! ... and don't forget to RATE, please...
your drive may be failing. i would try plugging it into another computer to back up ur data and and then format it. but this sounds alot like a failing drive in which i also experienced. also try changing the usb port you use and dont use one from a usb hub. do it directly inot the computer.
