Hi there Terelle,
I believe there's a chance that your HDD is failing or it has failed.
My suggestion would be to download some HDD testing tool for DOS mode, and test your HDD. You will need a flash drive or a CD.
If there's something wrong with it, you will need to replace it.
If the laptop is under warranty, you can just contact the manufacturer's Support.
Cheers,
