Yeah, I tried to delete it using Windows Partition 7 but when I right click on the drive all the options are "unavailable". So is there a different way besides using Windows Partition 7 to delete it ?

Please allow me to help a bit :)
as far as I'm reading this thread, the error could be caused by the Bad Disk, and your PC tried to boot using that disk.
however, if Partition software is able to detect it, then Windows should be able to detect it as well, only it will still be a "bad disk"
my suggestion:
check your BIOS setting, on the Boot Options.
I'm quite sure that the faulty disk is in one of the boot options in the BIOS.
you can set the boot option #1 (first device to boot) with the good disk, and set the other boot device to [NONE] (or something like that)
Let's see if you can boot into Windows this way.
BTW, is there any data that you want to recover from the disk?
How many hard-drives do you have? It seemed from the screenshot you had two different physical hard-drives, physically disconnect the corrupted hard-drive.
I have two internal hard drives. Every time I try out the "laptop hard drive" I disconnect my desktop hard drive and plug the laptop hard drive. So I believe that that the disk could not have been from my "desktop hard drive" because it wasn't connected at the time. Also how can I disconnect the corrupted hard-drive if neither of them are corrupted besides 1 partition in the laptop hard drive ?
One hard-drive seems to be corrupted, if you had one hard-drive connected with multiple partitions then it would still be listed as one hard-drive.
cipley,
My Bios is called "Asus UEFI BIOS Utility" There are only four things you can select
1. Windows Boot Mangaer
2. P3: Asus Drw-24B1st1 (that is the CD ROM so I excluded this)
3. P4:WDC WD2500 BEVS-60USTO (Laptop Hard Drive)
4. Disabled
I tried booting from [1] Windows Boot Mangaer and nothing shows up. Just redirects me to my bios. [2]boot left it empty and so on [3] & [4]. Then I tried booting from P4:WDC WD2500 BEVS-60USTO (Laptop Hard Drive). Ok so I select windows 7 ... loads... BSOD. So yea it didn't help.
Yea, so its the partition that is corrupted not the entire hard drive since I can boot from ubuntu. So how do I delete this corrupted partition ?
I meant partition not disk in the my previous post.
See if you can find another settings to set the priority of Hard Drive to be used for booting.
If the boot order is like that, there should be such settings.
Something like "Hard Drive boot priority"
if the laptop drive is listed as the primary hard drive boot media, change to the desktop drive
I'm sorry, I'm not really familiar with various BIOS settings...but it should get you the overall picture...I hope :)

You can't delete a corrupted partition, the disk is most likely to be physically corrupted, if you can't boot from the Windows Boot Manager then that is most likely to have been corrupted again too.
Run some hard-drive diagnostics and follow these steps:
Find your hard-drive manufacturer and run their tests.
Additional Test:
Check for any file system errors and bad sectors using Option #2 of:writhziden said:
Use this command with Disk Check:
Command Prompt at Startup.Code:chkdsk C: /f /r
