Error code 0x800703e7

The hard drive has become corrupted.

To start Check Disk
1. Open My Computer, right-click a drive, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click Check Now
then you get a dialog box, check "Automatically fix file system errors"
3. Click Start
You'll then have a message saying that it needs exclusive access and will
run next
time you reboot.
