Windows 7: HDD went bad error code 0xc0000022 can't repair new cloned drive

This is a laptop running Win 7 Ultimate x64 w/ SP1.



The HDD had bad sectors and CHKDSK didn't complete, so I cloned the bad HDD onto a new good one.

When I try to login I Explorer appears to crash and I get an the error code: 0xc0000022. I am able to login to safe mode though.

Here is what I have tried:

1. Ran CHKDSK
2. Ran SFC /scannow
3. Tried to run Win 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 setup.exe but I get "unknown error has occured" following the repair guide (Repair Install)

The last thing I want to do is a new format, though it is looking like that will be my option. Any other ideas or things I can try?

Hi,

What did sfc /scannow report once it had finished?

It made a text file and that was huge, it's still on the HDD. Not sure how to go thru that?

sfc /scannow can do some error recovery but you may need to run it a few times.
However, I would feel uneasy cloning a faulty HDD and would go through the pain of a clean install in this case.

Thanks, guess I will just have to do that.
