help installing windows

May 22nd, 2008
I recently restarted my computer and got a message saying that a file was missing or corrupt. I then tried to repair with the windows disc. I then got a message saying that windows shut down to protect the computer and check for viruses or chkdsk/f. Doing some research I was told that most likely my harddrive was failing. I went and got a brand new one but I am still getting the same error message. What can it be and how do I fix it.
thanks
