Just what I said. You find the disks that came with the PC and re-install the operating system.

For your first try, let the disks try to fix the installation.

If that doesn't work, what I would do is install a second hard drive and then re-load the OS. Afterwards, stick the original drive in as a second drive so you can access all of your data on the drive.

How does it happen? Usually it is a sector going bad on the disk.
