See if the manufacturer of the disk has a diagnostic that can test the disk, either after moving it to an external enclosure or from Linux. There might be a diagnostic built into your PC also, that you can run from boot without starting Windows.

The most likely outcome is that you'll need to replace the hard disk.

Tap <F8> during startup until the Windows Advanced Options menu appears. Press <Down Arrow> until Repair Your Computer is highlighted, and then press <Enter>. In the System Recovery Options window, click to select your language, and then click Next. Log in as a user with administrative rights, and click OK
