I have two problems in my system
Windows 7 home premium on dell n5010 running 64bits
My first problem is the partition C (36GB) is running out of disk space so while checking what is too big it was the windows/Winsxs (11GB)and another folder(14GB) in the windows(27GB) too. What are these folders for and can I get rid of them by deleting them permenantly?
I tried to expand the partition by shrinking drivre D. But contains bad sectors (D) as stated and needed to check for errors. When I start the wizard it just close without doing anything and Immediately. Here arises the other problem which is
whenever I open the Command Prompt to go into DOS, the computer restarts " logs off and restarts". What to do??? Some kind of virus??
Noticed my AVIRA was uninstalled a month ago

I would first get some sort of virus protection that you are comfortable
with and run a full system scan.  If your hard drive has bad sectors and
you are running out of space I would recommend using Acronis and buying a
bigger hard drive and moving the partition to the new drive and then
expanding it inside windows.  I would not touch the WinSXS folder or any
folder for that matter inside the windows directory, it houses backup
driver files and all rollback and uninstalls for each windows update.
