First suggestion is we take a look at the health of the HDD in case there is a problem with it that may explain the long install time.
Download and run CrystalDisk info standard edition from here
Run the program, grab any screenshots and attach to your next reply for us.
To capture and post a screenshot;
Click on the ALT key + PRT SCR key..its on the top row..right hand side..now click on start...all programs...accessories...paint....left click in the white area ...press CTRL + V...click on file...click on save...save it to your desktop...name it something related to the screen your capturing... BE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A .JPG ...otherwise it may be to big to upload... after typing in any response you have... click on Upload a File to add the screenshot.
Screenshot instructions are provided to assist those that may read this topic but are not yet aware of the “how to”.

Hii Ad!

well to clarify last 2 posts...it did not take 7-8 hours to install...it was stuck there. so I installed the linux os again...cleaned the drives...formatted all the drive to ntfs then tried to install windows...and it worked...but i know this pc is not in a usable condition...it has 2 gb ram, 300gb HDD, pentium dual core processor with 32 bit win dows 7...but again its my dad's laptop...and he wont change it coz it works fine for him. so...
Now plz let me know the second suggestion...

The HDD is failing and that is why you had problems getting Windows 7 to install.
Second suggestion, get your dad an external USB HDD to save save a back up image and his important data to, the sector count and high temperature readings are warning you of impending HDD failure.

well he has one external HDD and backs up things...but not so regularly...he is a doctor and very busy with his daily job...the important data includes his case photos only...but the thing is he keeps forgetting to back up things...
now to the important point..what can be done to stop this HDD from failing?

Nothing I`m afraid, a failing HDD is a lost cause and the sooner that the drive is replaced the better, this would have been suggested once we had secured your data had we known the condition of the drive but without checking we had no way of knowing, now that we do know that the drive is flaky we can advise you how to best deal with that if you wish.
Oh okay...no problem....anyway I was thinking of gifting my dad a new laptop or mobile phone...and he doesn't use those things very often...so no issues...anyway...thank you so much for all the help and information you provided...much appreciated
