When I tried to install windows Vista on my computer,
in the first step, the computer formats correctly,
however
in second step, when it starts installing windows vista, it corrupts at about 33%

Similarly,
When I tried to install Ubuntu, it tries to copy the files to computer but at about 45% the installation corrupts and cancels.

I CAN COPY FILES TO THE HARD DISK WITH NO PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL AN OPERATION SYSTEM, IT CORRUPTS AT THE MIDDLE.

I used a program (I don't remember the name) to check my hard drive, and it said sector 0 of my hard drive missing or corrupt

However, WHEN I USE MY HP HARD DISK CHECK , IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERROR.

Computer: HP DV6000 series
Hard Disk: 240 GB SATA Hard Drive

WHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED TO SUBMIT FOR YOU TO FIND THE PROBLEMS?

Thanks for the help

Unless there is valuable data on the drive; just replace it. This drive is likely either: Suffering from degradation (Less likely because of how new the drive is) or has a weak head/s. Either way extracting all data and moving to a new drive is the way to go. Throw that drive in the garbage.

Drive bad ? Try another one and if it works, the drive is really bad.
