I have a Seagate 400gb sata hard drive with vista intalled. My pc started running very slow and anytime I used a program, my cpu would jump to 80 percent. I did a restore and upon reboot it would never post just a blank screen. I wiped the drive and now it wont install vista, it says windows cannot install required files. Could it be that my hard drive is bad or something else?
 
I'd load bios defaults, check memory first with memtest, and after memtest loops a couple of times error free, then try to reinstall windows from scratch
