I want to format it, bad sector is making the hdd Lagg on my console(ps3) so full format on pc is the only way,after checking the procedures,I didn't think I could do it,besides I will need a hdd enclosure,so if I take it to a technician shop,Hw much are they likely to collect?

HDD enclosures cost 700 to 1k.

You can buy one yourself. Look for a computer and format. takes less than 2 minutes.

a bad sector hard drive needs to be regenerated first before u attempt any further procedures..if the hard drive responds well tehn there wld be no need to format it...the data in the bad sectors wld be moved to a new sector and that bad sector marked so data is not written into it..
u can call me on 08061679732...disaster recovery is my strong ppoint...
moreso,its just a 100-120g hard drive....if u dont have any meaningful info on it then it aint really worth the trouble..just replace it

one of ur devices is malfuntioning and forcing a buescreen....from my experience,i would say its your hard drive at this point..but if u were working on the system before u experienced a BSOD(blue screen of death) then i suggest u retrace ur steps into a recent hardware plugged into the system,a device drive updated or an un-install that wasnt properly done.....
u can try pressing f8 to enter safe mode,if succesfull,u can force a restore point...else remove the hard drive or memory to error trap..
lastly,your os may have been corrupt from the restart cycles(u may need to "partial" reload ur system)

When I boot my system, it writes bootmgr missing, is there a solution pls
you will have to repair your system with the required os cd..this situation normally arises when u partially install another on an active os or maybe u dint complete the process..
in some rare cases,a failed multi boot session

let a software professional do it for u....skills and knowledge acquired over years cant be matched in just of a moment...
it has taken a lot of practice,dedication to even perfect those skills so explaining in detail may not help..
last week,i explained in detail the procedure of creating a new user profile (even though i mentioned i have never used win cool to "luckygurl" ..i was totally wrong...that detailed procedure dint work on her system....
i had to connect to her system via teamviewer to remedy the situation...i have never seen windows 8.1 bing version before..the limitations on her os was likened to that of a home edition....but with my experience,i could workout a solution..
so pls take no offense wen ur referred to professionals...we equally dont wan be responsible for misleading u wen something goes terribly wrong!

Windows 7 was perfectly running on it before problem started. It can run 7,I have deleted and formatted everything in both partitions so there's space.

i just checked the history of your complaint.....you are having difficulty installing the os because your hard drive has many bad sectors on it and your SMART has flagged it already..but from the screenshots u provided...i can re-generate the harddrive(if its a reasonable amount of bad sectors are found)so u can still use it..but here is the risk,in the future,other sectors may become bad as well thereby making your os unstable..
until i diagnose the disk would i be able to advise on the next steps you should take...

let me shed light on this particular quote...
when u format a hard drive in windows,the default setting is "quick format"(/q) which just runs through the harddrive without really checking deep for the integrity of the hard disk and without a bad sector search...(you would find out that if u want to buy a used harddisk and those chinko flash in comp village,this is the quick command they would use to bypass a getting-faulty,chinko flash disk)..so just cuz it has been formatted doesnt mean its that good.
but when u run an "unconditional format"(/u- In Dos 7.x the Unformat command has been dropped and all formatting is unconditional),them it wont only format the disk but check the integrity of the disk...in windows,just uncheck the "quick format" box
