You have spyware/adware. The things that's popping up saying you're infected.

Do a backup of 250 GB's first parititon. You can copy relevant data to the second partition of the same drive.

Open computer case and carefully remove dust.

Then disconnect spare IDE drive
(or set 250 GB's HDD controller as a primary in BIOS / set the big HDD as a primary drive - if you do this right, there is no need to disconnect the spare HDD).

Then start the system, reformat the big HDD's first partition and do a clean install.

Once win instalaton is complete, reconnect spare IDE drive.

Install some antivirus, update it an do a full system scan.

If you are willing to reinstall windows then just make sure you do a full format of the disk in the process.
