Do you use any McAfee product like virusscan? Maybe disable now any
antivirus you have. I think you must also test your hard disk with some
diagnostic tool. Here you find many utilities for testing different
disks:

Personally I recommend a very good freeware utlity MHDD

No, it's not possible. If you will not run Windows XP or Windows XP
Recovery Console then it is meaningless, how and where was those systems
installed.

IMO this is a problem with Vista or with your hdd, disk controller
driver, or BIOS.
