    you should be able to test the hard drive on the same pc.

    just get hirens boot cd or some other one that has hdd testing.

    you may have to change the bios setting to boot from cd, or you might get a one time boot option to select cd.
    People who use the phrase "Touch base" should be shot.

    Test the hard drive > F12 > Hard Drive Diagnostics
    If they pass

    Boot system too XP CD

    R For repair
    Type in FIXMBR then test
    Fixboot then test
    Chkdsk /r then test

    they should fix that issue if the drive is not knacker that is
