There are numerous possible reasons for a Windows hard drive, which is facing large amount of damage. Most of these reasons are, unluckily, very serious. In majority of cases, it is not the computer hard drive that is causing problem, but an external factor, that is responsible for the same.

Thoroughly scan your Windows computer for viruses, using a powerful and updated anti-virus software. Viruses severely affect the file system and may also change major data structures of hard drive.
