You can place the download whereever you want. Just remember where it's at. Or just install from the web. (the best way)

That is an odd error. My guess is some important system files have become corrupted either via the drive going bad or something else.

You might want to check for viruses as well.

You'll definitely want to run Scandisk if you can to see if there are any sectors of your drive going bad. After that you can try to repair the Windows install or reformat the drive and reinstall it.You might want to check for viruses as well.
