no still no luck.
i got this terrible feeling you were right about being a faulty hdd
Don't panic. Theres still a couple of things we can try.
We could try run a chkdsk in command prompt. this will check the hard drive for bad sectors, If it locates bad sectors, it will attempt to recover the data and move it to another working sector.
Id highly suggest that we scan the drive for errors though. But we need to know the make of the Hard drive?.
First we have to get you into and OS.
Download http://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hi...ootCD.15.1.zip
You can burn the ISO to a disk
You can also boot from a usb flash drive Universal USB Installer – Easy as 1 2 3 | USB Pen Drive Linux or Hiren's BootCD From USB Flash Drive (Pen Drive) » www.hiren.info
Once that is complete boot into mini xp. post a screen shot of windows explorer.
it, sata 64mb cache a western digital 2 tb
i have burnt the file to dvd disk.
i,m affraid you will have to explaine to me step by step as my brother was the computer expert not me sorry
Boot and run an extended scan with Seagate Seatools
This will tell you the condition of the HD, perhaps even fix bad sectors.
If HD is intact then work through the steps for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start.
When you do the disinfection you'll find out if a disk is bootable. If not use the flash stick options given. Report back results for additional steps.
Note that at any point you can rescue the data by skipping to Step 9, then boot the installer to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to get a fresh start.
