If you can boot the Win7 installer now then you can also run Disk Check Option Two from System Recovery Options Command Line.
You may need to format a whole disk partition to run the disk Check first. To give it a letter you may need to use Hiren's bootable XP Disk Mgmt. Same steps as these: Partition or Volume - Create New
In that case it's probably easier to use XP to Disk Check the same as Option One.
Enter a Drive Letter Only ( Example. C ): c
The type of the file system is FAT32.
Volume DRV2_VOL1 created 2012-06-26 13:19
Volume Serial Number is 0000-1098

Then it ask to check other disk.. And my HDD is healthy apparently. AND my HDD is 320 GB.. Why does it sat 134gb?
C must not span the entire HD. Extend it in XP DIsk Mgmt then run a full disk Disk Check. Partition or Volume - Extend
Have you tried to boot and run the Win7 installer? During install use Custom>Drive Options to Delete all partitions and create New, or just click Next during install to let the installer create/format your install partition and begin.
You want an NTFS Primary partition. Delete the current one and create a new full disk NTFS Primary partition, full format and give it a drive letter. Then run Disk Check.
Boot the Win7 DVD, at first screen press Shift + F10, in Command Box type:
Diskpart
List Disk
Sel Disk # (use correct disk # for your HD)
Clean
Create Partition Primary
format fs=ntfs label="Windows 7"
assign letter=C
exit
chkdsk C: /F /R
exit
Watch progress to see if errors are found/fixed.
After disk is checked, return to Install now, follow steps to Clean Install Windows 7 choosing the partition created.

Another way to access Command line is installer's System Recovery Options
