You need to make a Ubuntu boot disk first. Create a USB stick on Ubuntu | Ubuntu then set your BIOS to boot from the USB. Hello...
But I already manage to copy all the file and I don't think I need it anymore? Maybe I'll just download and keep it, and next time any problem occurs I will use this as a trying?
UPDATE:
I'm done copying all the things I need, but when I wanted to format the HDD, it does not work! Windows pop-up a message saying that "Windows cannot format the HDD" etc....
So what is the problem with that error now?

Most likely you were trying to format the C: drive, with the operating system on it, from within the operating system (while Windows was running). You can't do that. You will need to format the drive from outside the OS. Most people use DISKPART run from their installation DVD to do this, but you can use other 3rd party programs too, like Partition Wizard on bootable CD.
I am confused because you state you have 3 hard drives - meaning 3 individual devices - in your PC. So if the hard drive that has the E: partition on it is failing, why do you need to do anything with the (separate) hard drive that has C: and Windows on it? Who told you you should do that, and what problem is that supposed to solve? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built - Jan 2013 OS Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium SP1 CPU i7-3820 Motherboard Asus P9X79-PRO - Bios 3305 Memory GSkill F3-14900CL9Q - 16GB Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX660 - Driver 310.90 Sound Card On board Realtek ALC898 Monitor(s) Displays Acer S271HL Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard MS KC-0405 Mouse Intellimouse 5-button PSU Corsair CMPSU-850TX-V2 - 850 watt (by Seasonic) Case Corsair Obsidian 550D Cooling Standard 3 120mm case fans, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Hard Drives #1- Samsung 840 Pro Series

So II should be able to do that in Windows isn't? But I can't, it just pop-up that message.
Sorry to confused you, yes I have 3 HDD.
Because the guy told me to format the C: (With the windows on it) then only can know what is the problem with the E:, and I don't know why I must format? I don't think is needed....
The problem suppose to solve is the E: drive, because is failing and running slowly. The E: drive that is cannot be format. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP 1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU 3.30GHz Motherboard Asus P8H61-MLE Memory 4.00 GB DDR3 SDRAM Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT Sound Card High Definition Audio Codec: Monitor(s) Displays SyncMaster (1280x1024@60Hz) Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Razer Tarantula Mouse Razer Mamba PSU Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 650W Case Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Hard Drives 1465GB Western Digital WDC WD15EARS-00Z5B1 ATA Device (SATA)

No, do not format C: . You have already determined that the problem is the failing E: drive and not Windows.
One thing you can try (to format that E: drive) is to go to Disk Management, select the E: drive and right click on the partition, and then choose to "Delete Volume".
If that is successful the drive (in Disk Management) will be black and marked as "Unallocated". Then you may be able to format the drive (from Disk Management). Right click and choose "New Simple Volume". | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built - Jan 2013 OS Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium SP1 CPU i7-3820 Motherboard Asus P9X79-PRO - Bios 3305 Memory GSkill F3-14900CL9Q - 16GB Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX660 - Driver 310.90 Sound Card On board Realtek ALC898 Monitor(s) Displays Acer S271HL Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard MS KC-0405 Mouse Intellimouse 5-button PSU Corsair CMPSU-850TX-V2 - 850 watt (by Seasonic) Case Corsair Obsidian 550D Cooling Standard 3 120mm case fans, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Hard Drives #1- Samsung 840 Pro Series

I see, I'll give it a shot, I already disconnected the drive hours ago, so I'll connect it to the system and try again soon. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP 1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU 3.30GHz Motherboard Asus P8H61-MLE Memory 4.00 GB DDR3 SDRAM Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT Sound Card High Definition Audio Codec: Monitor(s) Displays SyncMaster (1280x1024@60Hz) Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Keyboard Razer Tarantula Mouse Razer Mamba PSU Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 650W Case Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Hard Drives 1465GB Western Digital WDC WD15EARS-00Z5B1 ATA Device (SATA)

What that could be telling you is that the drive is too badly damaged to even begin formatting.
I am assuming that you ran the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic program on the drive already.
Now that the drive is just unallocated space, try formatting it using a third party program like Partition Wizard. Free Partition Magic alternative, partition manager freeware, partition magic server, partition magic Windows 7 and free Partition Manager software for Windows 7/8/VISTA/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2000.
Use the Bootable CD.
If PW does not work the you could try performing a "disk wipe" using Windows Diskpart from your installation or Repair DVD.
You will want to do a "Clean All" procedure. Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command
That may correct the disk errors and make the disk usable again.
If either of these 3 things do not work then I suggest you located the nearest trash bin and deposit the failed hard drive into it. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built - Jan 2013 OS Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium SP1 CPU i7-3820 Motherboard Asus P9X79-PRO - Bios 3305 Memory GSkill F3-14900CL9Q - 16GB Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX660 - Driver 310.90 Sound Card On board Realtek ALC898 Monitor(s) Displays Acer S271HL Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard MS KC-0405 Mouse Intellimouse 5-button PSU Corsair CMPSU-850TX-V2 - 850 watt (by Seasonic) Case Corsair Obsidian 550D Cooling Standard 3 120mm case fans, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Hard Drives #1- Samsung 840 Pro Series
