Problem in hard drive

I am using a samsung hard drive (size 40 GB),since last 4 yrs. Now,while working it suddenly hangs-up & there is no option left except to turn off the UPS as because neither mouse nor keyboard works. Sometimes, when i turn off the UPS, the computer doesn't turn off. one of my friend advice me to scan the hard drive completely with a new antivirus. I did so. While scaning, I found three virus, in which one was TORJEN HORSE. Then I fully format me hard drive. & re-loaded WINDOWS XP2. But, the problem still preavailing in the computer. Please, reply soon.

The hard disk may have some bad sectors. Try zero filling the hard disk. Try to download the programs from http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/utilities/Support_HUTIL.html You will come to know if your hard disk is the culprit.

Serial no 359146794305 what is its capacity

Microsoft has shipped numerous variations of the Xbox 360, with the major difference between each one being the hard drive size. As a result, your Xbox 360 can have a hard drive size as low as 4 GB and as high as 250 GB. If you're unsure of the size of your Xbox 360's hard drive, or just want to see how much space is remaining on it, you can check from the Device Options screen. This screen is accessible from the Xbox 360 dashboard when using any Gamertag.
Step 1 Select the "Settings" tab from your Xbox 360's dashboard.
Step 2 Select "System" and select "Storage" from the onscreen list.
Step 3 Highlight your hard drive from the onscreen list. By default the name of the hard drive is "Hard Drive."
Step 4 Press "Y" on the Xbox 360 controller to access the Device Options screen. The right side of the screen lists both the overall size of your hard drive under "Capacity" and the remaining amount of space under "Free Space."

Tip

From the Device Options screen you can also give your hard drive a custom name, clear the system cache or transfer content to another memory device.
