    Does anyone know what this error means/how to fix it. My computer freezes up after about 7 seconds everytime I log in. Any help would be appreciated.

    Usually whatever the error is it means the drive needs to be replaced.

    You could run for example Seagate Seatools (included in Ultimate Boot CD - Overview among other useful tools), despite its name it'll run on all brands of drives.

    If your laptop is in warranty, contact service :)

    Do the online chat and request they send you a new drive. They overnight you a drive and you pop it in. Chat will take about 10-15 minutes and it will take about 5 minutes to install the new drive.
