I think my hard-drive is messed up! Need an experts help ASAP.

-- If you are going to help me please read through all of the below --
Okay I'm really stressed out about this now. Here's whats going on:
So I was recording a video on Fraps and I used a disk partition called E: because it had 100gb free whereas the drive that I usually put my fraps videos on has about 50gb free. So I did my recording and it came to around 85gb. Meaning there's now 15gb left in E: drive. After the recording I decided to play it back... Behold, the video was corrupt! So then I tried deleting it and it wouldn't delete, explorer.exe had crashed, so I restarted my PC (hard restart) and it took a very very long time to start up, when it had started (after the windows logo screen) (btw Windows 7 professional) the monitor screen was black with my cursor in the middle, I could open task manager. So one it all started up I went to My Computer and found this: http://i.imgur.com/AcgZVOD.jpg
You will notice that E: drive does not have any usage or anything showing up, trying to enter E: would just cause explorer.exe to stop working, running an anti-virus on that drive doesn't work. Doing a chkdsk would crash after it found a bad cluster at file 5035 even though it was at 5030 in the 4th out of 5 steps, it was like that for a good hour so I closed the chkdsk. I opened Disk management and found this: http://i.imgur.com/a9jMDXC.png
You will notice all the partitions that are part of the hard-drive are healthy but at risk.
I've tried copying files from the other partitions to my 1tb hard-drive and the transfer speed is like 100kb/s
Removing this hard-drive makes my computer run fine.
The hard-drive in question is a WD5000AAKS 500gb.

From Microsoft.

"A dynamic volume's status is Healthy (At Risk).
Cause: Indicates that the dynamic volume is currently accessible, but I/O errors have been detected on the underlying dynamic disk. If an I/O error is detected on any part of a dynamic disk, all volumes on the disk display the Healthy (At Risk) status and a warning icon appears on the volume.

When the volume status is Healthy (At Risk), an underlying disk's status is usually Online (Errors).

Solution: Return the underlying disk to the Online status. Once the disk is returned to Online status, the volume should return to the Healthy status. If the Healthy (At Risk) status persists, the disk might be failing. Back up the data and replace the disk as soon as possible. For instructions describing how to bring the disk back online, see Reactivate a missing or offline dynamic disk."

"To reactivate a missing or offline dynamic disk
Using the Windows interface

Open Computer Management (Local).

In the console tree, click Computer Management (Local), click Storage, and then click Disk Management.

Right-click the disk marked Missing or Offline, and then click Reactivate Disk.
The disk should be marked Online after the disk is reactivated."

Have already tried this, but cannot access anything to do with the drive, please look at the Disk management screenshot.

Hi

I suggest you run Western Digital Datalifeguard 4 Windows or the Seagate equivalent on this hard drive

You should run a full scan which may take several hours.

If you already have reports of bad sectors then it is likely the disk is failing and needs replacing

sometimes a small number of bad sectors can be repaired but usually more occur

[You should do this before runing chkdsk]

I'm not getting what you're saying properly, could I know if when you remove the defect hard drive the computer runs fine or when the 1 TB hard drive is removed which is not defect, the computer runs fine? Copy all your important files and try using an OS disk to format only the Partition E. This sort of problem also happens when there are slight corruptions with regard to how the computer identifies the drive.
