Hi everyone,
I thought that I may have had a virus so I scanned malwarebytes etc. The system would take 20 minutes+ to load. This in now about 10 minutes to load.
The virus removed a few bits and was dealt with in another thread. I have now been getting the following error/bsod:
STOP 0x0000007A: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
What can I do to fix this? I have attached the screenshot, is my Dell Studio 1555 a lost cause?
Hi jrjwdavis.
The second argument on the screen, that is the ntstatus is c0000185, which means there is some error with the disc environment which is causing the BSOD.
Test your HDD using Seatools: SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use
Take both the short and the extended test. Let us know the result.
Hi all scans basically instantly failed: see log:

Even the short test failed within 12 seconds.
You need to get a new Hard Disc. If this one is within warranty, claim for a replacement. Otherwise buy a new one. Try to back up any data that is necessary.
Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console
Hey thanks for the reply.
The system when it is turned on is working fine it just crashes now and then and takes a while to load up.
I can still access all my files etc. do I really need a new hardrive could I not fix it or could it be something else??
Could the cause be from any other reason, is there any software etc. that could fix the issue?
Right, In terms of restore/backup. I have a mirror image of the system and a full back up of all my files that was done a few months back on a seperate hardrive. Is this enough to restore the system, software etc onto a new hardrive?
Should I do another backup/ mirror image now with the current system, or could this be corrupted or damaged at all?
Also any recommendations of a new hardrive for a Dell Studio 1555?
Thanks for all your help!
IMHO any 2.5" 9mm SATA notebook hard drive will be OK there.
It is always better to start afresh with a new HDD. But if you find that to be problematic, you can follow Windows 7 Installation - Transfer to a New Computer .... either method 2 or method 3.
If I had been in your place, I would have preferred a clean install.
