Have you partitioned and reformatted your hard drive before? Maybe you should elaborate on your problem so that it will be easier for others to help you.

Get a program that wipes your disk clean, have an operating system disc. Pop it in, reformat... and there you go.
If that doesn't work, you may consider trashing the computer.

I suggest you just wipe the drive.. or if not your hard disk is probably screwed up time for a new one ..

i feel you should get it serviced.
as you said, its approx 7 yr old, so its better to have an entire system service.
primary problem is with power supply
secondary problem is with hard disk
