Something seriously wrong with my GB hard drive.?

I decided to load up my computer up one day and, it comes to a screen where it asks me if i wanted to load windows normaly, in safe mode, etc….and i do normal mode….then just after it comes to the windows loading screen it will restart and come back to the screen, i have tried all of the modes and havent had any luck, all dose the same….I wanted to try to back up my important files and i have done a number of things to try to do that such as, load up linux live cd, put the hard drive as a slave in my other computer with windows xp…i try to access the harddrive and it will sort of freeze up my pc…..whats wrong with my harddrive and how can i fix it????

new system tird of viruses?

Hello, I am tired of viruses on my computer. I need a new system, I’m thinking of linux or unix but I haven’t found one I completely like. I want one that is totally windows compatible (meaning I want it to run windows apps without windows) like something made with wine. I want it fully customizable, I want to be able to color the task bar, change the theme etc.. I want it to be fast to, no waiting around to start a program or waiting for it to boot if possible. I want it to be easy to use, and easy to play with and stuff. If any one builds their own linux maybe u can give me a link, or just give me a link to one they think is cool. And if live cd is an option thats cool, if not o well,l I’ll be using vmware to try it out anyways.

Thanks, o yea, I have an AMD 64 Athlon, 1 250 gb hard drive, 1 7 gb restore drive, 2 cd burners, 1 with lightscribe and cd burning technology. And thats all I can give u.

Ubuntu linux resolution problem, can you help?

I just downloaded and burned the .iso image Ubuntu 6.0.6 also know as Daper drake and booted it off the live cd but it views very large, probably 800×600 or something. I can’t even install Ubuntu on my hard drive because I can’t even see the buttons to continue because of the resolution. How would I go about fixing this problem? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I tried going into System>Preferences>Resoultions and it only gave me the option 640×480. I have 512mb or memory.
