I tried the repair install one more time but it didn't work so I just went ahead and did the factory restore. Everything is fine now.

I ran that test last week for about an hour. No errors were found.

I took out the drive, set it as slave and put it in another PC. At first, it had a red question mark next to it but I was able to...

It's the same version. I used the same CD when I did the factory restore 2 weeks ago.

I did the factory restore but encountered more problems. I made a seperate post for this issue here. Please check it out.

The results are in and no errors were found. I'm not sure if I'm happy or dissapointed. So I guess this means the problem isn't my hd? Whatever should I do now?
