HDD not booting OS / loads forever when plugged USB as external
Hello,
HDD not booting XP
1) Loading screen shows up but ends up in a error blue screen.
2) In safe mode got the error multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) windows system32 ntoskrnl.exe
3) Safe mode is not even entering ever since, F8 key only makes BIOS beep and get stuck.
4) Acer TravelMate C200 will not boot from an USB drive if HDD is on its socket and even the BIOS setup get severely delayed by the presence of HDD. Will not boot from CD/DVD drive even without the HDD, but this is previous to this problem. Yes, I have setup the boot menu correctly.
5) When booting from an USB drive with an empty HDD socket, plugging in the HDD via USB does not make it visible and keeps making needle noises forever.
Loads forever via USB on another laptop
1) One of the partitions is accessible (H:), but not the system one and that data is not the point to my help request but to be able to repair the system.
2) Windows7's explorer gets partially frozen loading the other partitions (I: and J:). Sometimes I can open their properties but I have no feedback when trying Checkdisk or Format from there. When unplugged, the "you must format" pop up shows immediately. Devices management also behaves like this.
3) diskpart is able to list that disk after taking some more seconds than usual to process it. But clean or format gives no feedback and I don't even know if it is operating.
4) From plugging in to unplugging the needle noise is constant, so I assume the working overload is preventing the two laptops from operating the tools properly.
What else can I try?
Is there any procedure to kill the needle automatic working in order to free it for the Windows tools to operate?
I really need this old laptop to work, because it is the only tablet I have and I need to work with the pen for drawing. No money to buy almost nothing, it would actually be an income help to have this tool operating for online classes in these rough confinement times and income downfall.
Any help is extremely needed and welcome.
