Answer 1

An educated guess would be that it means your hard drive has become faulty.

Answer 2

It is possible that your CMOS memory was corrupted and the drive parameters were lost. Try going into the BIOS screen and see if you can find the drive configuration page. If there's an option for letting the BIOS configure the drive automatically, choose it. It should say something like 'Automatic recognition'. Save the BIOS settings and reboot. Otherwise, you may need to find out the drive parameters and enter them manually.

If that works, you may need to change your CMOS battery if it is going flat. If it doesn't you may have a faulty drive.

Answer 3

That data describing the Heads and sectors of your boot device in BIOS settings do not match the Fdisk partion data

Answer 4

I recommend to clean up the register in order to improve your pc performances and get rid of malwares. A good program you can use is CCleaner http://bit.ly/UrApkP
