This is unfortunately a pain in the ass to fix. You're going to need to restore your windows install to an earlier point. If you're unable to do this, try doing a system repair. both of these can be run off the install disk if you're using windows 7.
If that doesnt work, you're going to want to install a fresh copy of windows over the old one. If it asks you to format do ~NOT~ format.
Should the problem persist then it will likely mean you need a new HDD.
But before you do all of that, try this: Replace the SATA cord that connects the hard drive, and then replace the power connector. Use a different power connector from your PSU.
In many cases its just a bad cable causing the problem.
If you have recently upgraded your video card or other components (its usually caused by a video card) then another possible reason is that your power supply is no longer adequate and causing your system to fail, because it doesn't have enough power to run everything properly (I had that problem myself a few months ago. It caused me to have several hard drives corrupt themselves.)
Your most likely fix is going to be a fresh install of the OS, but there are other options. Try replacing the cables first, and if that doesn't work, then run the system recovery options I mentioned above. If you need any help past that you can give me a private message and I'll happily walk you through some of these procedures.
PS, am compy tech IRL. X3

I see. Okay, a hard drive for a tablet is usually the same as a hard drive for a laptop. So you just need a 2.5" hard drive if you're forced to replace it. That's not a big deal.
The lack of a CD drive however can be a bit of a pain in the backside.What you're going to need to do is get yourself an external CD/DVD drive with a USB hookup. They're actually not all that hard to come by these days, though can be a little pricey. if you like I can probably find you some on newegg very quickly.

Unfortunately majority of Tablet devices use solid-state drives. I'm not sure if it's integrated or a separate piece of hardware but most of the new ones are all solid-state and many adopt a unique to the company or model integrated solid state drive. =/ Tablets are evil when it comes to self repair.
It really depends on the model. lol. Yes, some are solid state, but most run off a laptop hard drive. Solid state hard drives are a more recent introduction into the industry, and depending on how old the comptuer is, the drive could be a standard 2.5" laptop drive, or a micro media hard drive which is commonly used in devices like the older series of video / media players. its a 1/4 " hard drive and generally only supports about 8 - 30 gigs
Windows XP System Error - STOP c000021a Fatal System Error - Winlogon.exe or Csrss.exe crashed or did not load correctly
Warning: This article is intended for advanced computer users. If you are not comfortable with advanced troubleshooting, you might want to ask someone for help or contact Technical Support.
Probable Causes:
-Mismatched system files have been installed.
-A Service Pack installation has failed.
-A backup program that is used to restore a hard disk did not correctly restore files that may have been in use.
-An incompatible third-party program has been installed.
-The Hard Disk Drive may be damaged.
both Winlogon.exe and csrss.exe are kernel-processes, if they fail the NT Kernel (usually shown as "System" in the task manager; \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe) will stop execution of the system, to prevent data loss.
mostly, what keichimarue said is the best way to go, but I would suggest to make a complete disk image first, that way, if something goes wrong, you can restore the image, and try again.

a fast check to my resources says bad memory file fastest way to fix is using the recovery section on boot hit f8 a few times and it 'should' pop you into a repair mode that is completely separate from windows normal functions and that will let you go to last restore point which is usually just before last update you downloaded.
From another resource page:
"I might have a solution for anyone else who may come across this post. I spent four days debugging this problem and in my situation if you've installed pcanywhere then there is a file in %systemroot%\system32\drivers\ named gernuwa.sys. This file was put there by pcanywhere and when I had to repair xp due to a unrelated problem I got the same exact error as yours. Remove this file using the recovery console and try again "

You won't know if the HDD is busted without checking it. Seems more to be a Windows registry issue.
Try and make a boot-able USB stick. Saves you from having to use shit like CD and DVDs. Make a ubuntu one and see if you can still access your HDD: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
If you can access your data, then buy a external HDD and connect it to transfer the data over or enable your Internet connection from the bootable and copy your files somewhere.
