The problem is that your hard drive seems to be failing. If you cannot back up your stuff you will lose it. No matter what happens with your stuff it appears that you must buy a new hard drive. If hard drive is failing all other error messages are not important.
If the stuff is important and you are having problems, STOP using the computer and bring it to a professional.
Well, I might as well let it go. Okay whats the next step Rich? I buy a new HDD and then what? Do i get a new windows 7 disc? LOL $$$
If I were you, I would bring it into a shop. Let them make an official diagnosis. Dont forget, I cant touch or see your computer and only using my best judgement, (although in this case Smart did say hard drive problems). If the technician says that the Hard Drive is bad replace it. Then dont let him install the OS or even buy a CD. Call your computer company, they will send you a CD for cost, of about $25.00
or
Even better use this free download to install Windows. You must have the key number though, which should be on the computer. Try this ISO first, try not to buy a CD or have the repair shop install. It will cost much more. The ISO is free

After you are up and running dont forget about Macrium and an External Hard Drive.
where is the key number? how do i access it?
If you have a desktop it is on the case, in plain sight. If you have a lappy, it can be anywhere: on the case, under the cover, near the battery. You may have to call the company to find the placement.
If you cant find the key, as a last resort, use Magic Jelly Bean. Im not sure if that key works as it is the key number used by the Manufacturer of the computer. Most here say that it will work.
