so there's absolutely no way now that i can repair my hard drive? :-( too bad i'm in india; if i were in the us i could have sued those wise care guys? lol :-P
ok i'm not an expert like you guys here but i'm pretty sure these problems started right after I used wise care..
Honestly is was a time bomb waiting to happen, what ever you put on the hard drive would have done this, music files, video files, a map program etc. The sectors go bad and the errors start to build up until programs won't run and eventually windows won't boot. If you read any of the programs agreements they expressly tell you they are not liable for damage to your computer however caused. At least you are getting good warning about your drive dying it could have gone clunk and click click and you would have got nothing out of the drive.
ok... can i try restoring the computer to its original just-out-of-the-factory state? after backing up my files of course...
Not a good thing to do!! Replace your faulty harddrive! Of course backup important files first.
After that you have to reinstall win7 Clean Install Windows 7
Win7 install ISO can be found here Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life
Use http://www.mydigitallife.info/create...moval-utility/ to let you be able to install win7 home basic.
For user who has the ISO image of Windows 7, and wish to make it an universal installer for any and all supported editions of Windows 7, as shown in illustration below, now has an easier way to modify the ISO. Instead of manually unpacking and extracting the content of ISO image (or copying files from DVD) to HDD, deleting the ei.cfg and then repacking or rebuilding installation files back into ISO to burn, user can now eliminate troublesome procedures by making use of “ei.cfg Removal Utility”.
now the disc check goes upto file no. 50303 before stopping- that means it has resolved errors upto that point, right? i also managed to take a picture of the message that i receive after the disc check pauses & before the pc restarts. i have attached the photo. could you guys please read it & suggest if any other solution is possible? many thanks....
Do a checkdisk from recovery environment!! Bot into Advanced Boot Options and do "Repair your computer". Or boot from win7 system repair disc. Or win7 install dvd (repair computer). Then select "command prompt".
In command prompt:
Now you see the drive letters of the partitions (can differ from win7). Ignore the CD/DVD volumes. Assume you see drive letters C and D. then type:Code:diskpart list vol exit
So do it outside windows.Code:chkdsk/r c: chkdsk/r d:
BTW: iastor.sys is the intell sata driver ... not the default win7 one.
Post results. What is drive letter of your OS partition in recovery environment?
Maybe you have a ansty virus. Maby iastor.sys is corrupt or any other windows stuff. To test correct:
Do a chkdsk OUTSIDE windows!
Run seatools OUTSIDE windows.
