HDD fail soon preventing Install.
Hey,
On my system i originaly had 'Windows 7 32bit' Installed how ever i needed more ram in my pc which was over the amount in which 32bit can use, I noticed that i also had a 64bit of Windows 7 install disk as well as a 32bit version so i tryed to upgrade to 64bit from 32 and i refused to upgrade so i did a complete fresh install.
I formated my HDD and the tryed to install the 64bit version when i can across this.....
First of it takes ages to get to the language select sreen from selecting boot disk.
Secondly when i do select the language and click install now it takes for ever on the 'Setup is Starting...' Screen.
'Not sure but i dont think these 2 took so long when i installed it about 6 months ago.'
now for the major issues....
these are the Partitions it made last time, they are all free and have nothing on them now,

When i select the biggest or anyone of these i get a warning message at the bottom and a text bit saying show details somthing like that and it displays this when i click it.

Now i came here as at the moment i dont have the money to go out and buy a new 'SATA HDD', so im looking to hope i can solve the issue.
PS: these images actually were taken trying to install 32bit instead of 64bit how ever ive way the results are the same.
