You need to test the HD Drive first.

How should I do that? I don't have another HD.

Gregrocker gave you a link earlier, but did suggest if you couldn't get the utility to run, the hard drive is more than likely kaput.

HD Diagnostic

Oh okay. Well, let me do this. Stand by.

which cd burning software would you guys suggest to run this? I'm using DVD-R's

The standard recommendation here is ImgBurn from imgburn.com

I'm also not sure which thing to download. Even once I figure out my HD make each brand has different download links..

What is the HD brand? Use the DOS ISO download. Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp

Burn to CD at 4x speed with ImgBurn - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

is there anyway to see the brand of my HD without opening it back up?

Check in the BIOS, press F2 at boot.

You should be able to see the brand in Device Manager.

Alright. it's a samsung. Which link should I use? Sorry if I'm asking to detailed, I've just been at this for days and want everything perfect. There's two site links. Not sure which one I should be using.
