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.
