I have a 2 yr old Dell insperion laptop that crashed. I was able to install the windows 7 os but it won't let me install the drivers from a disk. When I open the cd from my computer it recognizes there's a dell driver cd there but won't run or install. What can i do to solve this issue? Install the drivers manually?

When I start the laptop now it gives me a warning message to save my data because the hard drive may crash or be corrupted.

Is this do to a "dead" hard drive? Am i going to need to get a new one or is this salvageable? I dont wanna lose this hard drive!

Please help! Thanks!
