Sounds like the MBR may be corrupted.

Windows? If you can run a DOS bootable disk, try running chkdisk on the partition, or ntfsresize -fi /dev/hdXY in Linux if you prefer (ntfs-progs package); otherwise fsck.

Okay guys I'm back with my problem.
Basically.. I can't turn off my computer. When I do that then my HDD just disappears to somewhere. When I go to BIOS it says correctly what my HDD is and how much space it is, but then it shows "Third master something error" and it just doesn't do anything..
Anybody know what's wrong ?

Hehe, it works again..
I can't understand why it does that.. It said "disc corrupted" and sometimes it wont recognize HDD at all.. Have you any idea what causes that?

Possibly bad cycles on your harddrive, if one is flipped then the kernel may panick at it. Did you try chkdsk with recovery option already? It should scan and maintain your harddisk to normal parameters of which Windows kernel can run, rewrite or ignore the sectors.

Run chkdsk /f /r in the safemode command line and it should force the check, if it fails then it will ask you if you wish to run the check again on bootup. Once you restart, after the Windows logo there'll be a blue screen (much like setup) and it should run the full chkdsk there and recover/scan what it can before the disk is mounted.
Just be aware the outcome may or may not fix it, but it should (as it's the last thing you can do before purcasing a new HDD).

I agree maybe your hdd is too old enough and was used regularly so its cycle will be affected for sure.
