If you can afford to do a full format then that probably a good start. It will leave a nice fresh partition to start from scratch with. Just make sure you have everything off the PC you need before hand as one you have formatted then its gone for good.
If after doing a fresh format it still doesn't work then I would maybe think about downloading a fresh Windows 7 install. That should eliminate the possibility of a broken install disk.
If after doing that should it still not work then post back and we can explorer it some more.

Once you have finished the download Click Here.
Look for your relevant hard drive in the list and then download the relevant Data lifeguard install.
Use the Windows installer and see what errors it produces, if any.

Ok not to worry you just need the Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for DOS (CD) version instead of the Windows version.
That will allow you to make a Live Disk that can run without Windows or any other operating system.

I take it this means the files on the disc which i have checked and they are both on the disc.
So that did not work either very odd

As a test:
- Turn off your PC
- Unplug your hard drive
- Turn on and boot to your WD diagnostics disk
Does it boot to the disk now?
