Any Computer People?

My aunt gave me an older Dell because she got a new one. Well it was prompting for a W98 disk which I didnt have. So I got my WXP disk...inserted it and started to install it. It was going great until it was copying files and a few of them had errors.

Now it boots up like it has WXP....then goes to a blue screen that says:

STOP:c0000211 Unknown Hard Error
\SystemRoot\System32\ntd77.d77

Now I have pushed so many buttons from this screen and nothing happens...so theres no way I could get to a screen to try and reinstall it.

My question is...should I just go buy a new Hard Drive OR should I clear this one and try again. The only thing is IDK how. So if anyone knows how to wipe a hard drive PLEASE I'd appreciate the help so much!

Thanks,

Don
