Are you saying you saw a message about a hard drive failure? If so that would account for the extremely slow performance.
If iIwere you, I'd make sure all my files were archived off the computer.
Do you have an image of the hard drive?

Failing Hard Drive?
I have a Dell Precision M6400, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9900 4.00 GB, 32 bit operating system, Windows 7 Professional, service pack 1
I have had problems for the last week of freezing and stalling. Ran update on Trend Micro Antivirus, no results after dealing with very slow start ups yesterday with it being on the windows site for at least an hour booting I ran Malwarebytes and found some maleware, cleaned it. This morning come in to find that it took about another hour to boot, then got the window storage matrix console hard drive fail come up on the computer. Ran a check disk on C drive, shortly after it gave me the blue screen, couldn't write down the failure quick enough. It sounds good as it runs, but something's clearly off - Any help?

You can tested your hard drive with HDD regenerator.
Purchase a new hard drive and clone to it before the drive fails completely.

What's the "service tag" number and/or "express service code" number on your Dell Precision M6400 WorkStation laptop?
I have doubts the hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
It's my guess it needs a clean reinstall of Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit and a fresh start and will run fine afterwards.

Fanyit,
I've also removed the link to the tutorial as it involves the use of the same Boot CD that we don't support here as mentioned earlier by a Moderator.
