when i try to re install my windows 7 in my sony laptop, it shows your hard disc may be damaged or not present. what can be the reasons? sony care center say that your hard disc is fully damaged and asking for 15000 rs to fix it. what to do?
 
WOW 15K????????????
Buy a new HDD for 3K and put it in yourself.... it'll work fine.
Get a USB HDD enclosure and plug the old faulty HDD in it, try it up and see if it works.... if it does, use a disk diagnostic tool to confirm how good/bad it is, and move forward.
