Beofre you go declarin gyour HDD a loss, use the command line to do a chkdsk in winxp

It will tell you if you have any bad sectors present on your disk. (the same goes for win98.
If bad sectors are there, then go the new HDD route. however, if it is not a bad disk, i would say that you are having issues with your windows installer and should try a repair of your windows version before going through the trouble fo a reformat.
