Hey thanks for the reply! How do I go in safe mode? (kinda new to windows 10.) Is it f12? If so my pc freezes whenever i try it. I will try the 2nd option. Also, should i run the prgram using the broken hard drive?
 
Here's a link to the Microsoft help on getting into Safe Mode:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode .
None of the function keys on my Dell laptop will get you into Safe Mode, but the above link should.

Run the disk diagnostics on whatever disk you're attempting to put Windows on. If you have to replace it, you should consider getting an SSD because they're so much faster.
