Laptop doesn’t start up and hard drive self test receives test status #1-07 fail?

I’m using HP Pavilion dv2911us laptop running Windows Vista Home Edition.

The problem started when I was arguing with someone online and started banging on my keyboard while typing out of frustration and all of the sudden, the screen messed up and began to show rainbows etc. So I manually rebooted by taking out the battery. After trying to load Windows up normally (not in safe mode), it reached an error screen that said something like Windows cannot start up, we suggest launching start up repair, so I do it and it loads some files and eventually reaches a black screen and just stay there. I can see my mouse cursor and move it but that’s it.

After attempting to do that several times repeatedly, I eventually tried entering BIOS and doing random things. One of those things was the Hard Drive Self Test under Diagnostics. However, the test would always fail, giving me a test status of error #1-07 fail. What does that mean?

What exactly is the problem? What is the solution? Thanks in advance!

How do you repartition a notebook hard drive that is attached to another laptop/desktop via usb?

I have been having problems with my older laptop. Windows XP keeps restarting and looping. I am unable to use safe mode because when I choose any of those options, a blank screen appears and that’s it, or it freezes. It was an Acer Inspire 5004 WLMi and it has a 100GB hard drive that was partitioned into two sections. I took the hard drive out, and I want to repartition it to get all of my data off of there so that I can use this laptop as a test laptop and put Windows 7 on there. How do I repartition the notebook hard drive with a usb disk enclosure? If I must use another method, please let me know that as well.
