Windows 7 broken

Hello, my Win7 HP 32bit got broken days ago: it seems processes can't write to disk as they want.
I hope this is a sw problem and I'm planning to install a clean 64bit Win7, but I would like to be sure it's not an HD failure.

I tried a chkdsk, well... the windowed version I mean, checking "bad sectors scan", it said it will set for next reboot but it didn't in facts.
I tried setting the disk dirty with fsutil, chkdsk run at reboot but skipped che sector scan, so I'm not sure about HD health.

I'm looking for some way to force the sector scan, any suggestion welcome.

In the meanwhile, I found these error in the windows app log (sorry for Italian, I'll put an English x64! :) ), do you know that they are?

Thank you!

But it complains it has to run at boot and then it does not!

Test your HD with the HD maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan to determine with certainty its condition.

Then as suggested follow up with Disk Check run from the Win7 DVD System Recovery Options or Repair CD Command Line .

If these check out you can rescue your files and do a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 following the steps in the tutorial to get a perfect install.

Well, I have a NAS on the LAN where the main data already are, but it will take ages to download the whole package after re-installing with my 100Mbit switch. I could directly link it to the notebook to use Gbit ports, but it looks to me that keeping the partition won't affect the new installation: I read the old windows directory will be renamed and the new one will be clean...
I'll move \Users and \Programs content away from where they are now and then moving what's useful back to their positions.

Don't you agree?

You must choose your partition during install and that partition will be overwritten by the new install. So you'll need to move all data off of it. Then I would use the drive options in Step 7 of Clean Install Windows 7 to format the partition.

If you move your data to another partition and don't touch it during reinstall then it should be safe, but this is not guaranteed and data should always be backed up externally anyway in case of HD failure.

You can also consider a more modern backup to the cloud, one which also sync's your devices as the same time as shown in https://www.sevenforums.com/backup-re...ml#post2269172

The correct way to reinstall is to back up your files and everything else outlined in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 so that nothing is missed, then delete all partitions during install to create and format New as you wish.
