Windows 7: Windows 7 32bit ultimate Freezes after login screen

You gotta burn one or two more CDs. Seagate's Seatools works with many brands:

SeaTools for DOS | Seagate

Another one is from Western Digital:

WD Support / Downloads / SATA & SAS / WD RE2

Particularly interested in the drive's SMART status (PASS/WARN/FAIL). Both should report SMART status by the time they load up and recognize your drive. Give us a screenshot of the report (same as you did for memtest).

If you decide to run any of the tests they provide, I'd only do the quick or short test until you can report back, or at least until you can safeguard your data. The tests should be nondestructive (data safe), even the long extended tests (but be careful not to run the options that overwrite data). The extended testing causes the drive to do quite a bit of work and if it's not healthy it may be better to grab your data first as the drive may only have limited read/write time left.

here is 2 pics

now that its a HDD problem i need to know how to get all of the data on another HDD like cloning it or is there anyway at all i can fix this

Can you run that WD tool so we can get a better idea of that drive's health? When you run it it'll also report SMART status, but you can click on that status and it'll open a window that'll show all the SMART attributes and their current values. Post screenshots of that if you can.

In the case of a failing hard drive, where it's not known how much longer it'll last, there's a decision to be made: try and grab data first or try to make a clone first. Depends on how critical that data is and how much access time you think you've got left for that drive. You also have to wonder if you'll even be able to get a working image/clone from it.

Imaging/Cloning

Here's a link to an iso that you can burn to a CD/DVD or write to a flash drive that'll boot a version of Macrium:

Macrium WinPE

Macrium can be used to create an image of your drive which can be written to another drive. Info on use here:

Copying your data

A link to an iso that you can burn to a DVD or write to a flash drive that contains many tools, including ways to copy out your data:

Try and get us screenshots of WD's SMART report first.

can't do the WD i get this after 8 min on a black screen

Hmm. Hopefully you only got that because the app isn't capable of detecting your drive. Go ahead and download the following:

http://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hi...ootCD.15.1.zip

It's the same link I posted prior to this post, containing the tools to copy out your data. Burn it to DVD (I'm not sure if it'll fit on a CD) and boot it. There's a mini-version of Win XP on there; run that. At this point you can use it to copy out your data to some other media. But I'm interested in a program called CrystalDisk. It should be found in the Hiren's menu under a subcategory labeled storage, hardware, or something like that. That program should be able to detect your drive and report it's SMART status. Post a screenshot of that if you can.

ok slight problem this is what i get



also i restarted the pc over 30 times and i let it sit and load finally loaded but very very slow when loading like 30 + min for windows to have no lag

ok i got on my pc the one thats messing upo made it load and this is the pic i get

If your machine still boots (and you know the memory is good) and is usable (even if you've got to wait some time after boot before you can really use it) then you can try and copy your data out of that suspect drive.

You can also download CrystalDiskInfo and run it from your installed OS. Or you can try and run it from the folder on the Hiren's DVD that contains CrystalDisk -- after unzipping it. The portable version is here: Portable Edition (zip) (avoids the ad software that's normally included with the installable version).
