Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to do now?

That shows up when I turn on the computer.
So, I need to buy a new hard disk or computer?

Because I think this computer, soon enough, will die.
This is the first time that this has happened to me so eh.

Your hard disk is dead. Go out and buy a new one.

That I will do. I'll get the 140GB Hard disk. or higher.

But why did that happen? or why does it happen?
Because It was running perfectly until that suddenly appeared.

Well, a hard drive has mechanical parts in it, so it's more likely to break than any other computer component. One of the most common causes for hard drive failure though is overheating. Do you have any 5.25" drive bays in your machine that are free? If so, you should look into getting a good hard drive cooler for your new drive. They help keep things running smoothly.

Isn't your computer somewhat old and ****ty anyways? Save up and by a new one.

Hard drives are more likely to fail within the first week or two of use, otherwise they will last for quite some time and fail near the end of their life expectancy (which is usually around five years). This is usually why most decent people perform a burn-in test when they first purchase their hard drives to ensure it will be reliable. If it fails in the burn-in test, you take it back and get a replacement.

You can always check newegg for internet shopping, great place. And if you install it yourself, dont put both power cords in, it could short the thing.
