Your Hard drive might be failing. First backup all important data, Documents, Music, pictures etc... From another PC.

Download Ubuntu Live CD ISO image and burn the ISO image to a cd using Imgburn (how to burn an ISO image using Imgburn). With the newly burned cd boot with it then select "Try Ubuntu" not "Install Ubuntu" access the Windows partition or what ever partition or hdd you which to backup files from by going to the panel on top, select "Go" click on "Computer". Select the partition, or Hard drive then directories, and files you wish to back up, Backup the files to DVD, an external hard drive or thumb drive(s).

Then.....

Downloading UBCD which is in my signature.Burn the ISO Image to a blank CD using Imgburn (How to burn a ISO Image using Imgburn) burn at lowest speed. With the newly burned cd boot with the cd go to HDD>Diagnostics>The make and model of your hard drive, Seagate, Maxtor, Drive Fitness which is Hitachi, Or Western Digital. Perform a short and long test. Could also be called "Standard" and "Extended" test or also "Comprehensive" test. The Seagate hard drive test will work on most drives.


If non of the tools find your hard drive keep trying until one does. As mentioned Seatools work for some drives, so does Drive Fitness.

I have already done the test using recovery hardware diagnostic and it passed all the test hard drive, memory etc

 

Did you perform a quick test or a advanced test on the hard drive? (Some times called extended test or long test) a long test tests every sector of the hard drive. A short test only test a portion of the hard drive.

 

Performed using recovery i guess was a short one.

Lets assume if i perform extended test as u suggest and it passes then what needs to be done
And. If it fails where do i stand

Btw Thanks for your prompt reverts

Since i am able to go in recovery console hence i have already taken the backup of important files.
I had two drives, c and d
C holds os
D contains data
Using recovery i have taken the backup of the file.
I will make the cd as you advised and follow the process. The new day has started had to rush for a meeting will perform the process as soon as i am back home on the afternoon.
Btw do u think we would be able to bring the laptop back using the recovery

Thanks
