Hello Cutter

Welcome to PC Help Forums

Do yourself an enormous favour and, if you can, back your personal files up now.
It sounds like your hdd is on it way out.
What happened to the copy of XP that was installed on the system in the beginning?

the copy of xp on my pc is from my pc tech,,,its his copy,,,is there any way to replace the file and fix my hard drive,,i dont dare turn my pc off

first question would be why do you have your pc tech's OS on your pc?

regardless, bad blocks are generally (as in always) unfixable, and the first sign of a hard drive that is dying. I would follow Wolfey's advice and get your personal data off as fast as you can.

Other than that, I am not too sure of how much advice we can give, legally.

Im afraid we cant help you with copied, counterfeit or pirate XP. Please refamiliarise yourself with PCHF Rules.
