Update: Windows Chkdsk keeps giving me errors and telling me to back up files, SeaTools doesn't seem to do anything at all, and the WD Diag gives me errors on the quick scan. The possibility for RMA is becoming more and more likely.

Yes, it's not worth fixing if it's under warranty. Just replace it.

Sounds like it's time for a new replacement drive. WD has a paid expedite service and they hold a charge for the replacement drive until they receive the faulty drive.

After taking out the hard drive after testing it on a separate pc, that separate pc won't boot after 'Starting Windows' and just blue screens. Hopefully this one's an easy fix :\

Plug in the separate pc's target drive and then boot to bios and make sure it's either first in boot order or second only after the optical if installed and report back.

If that isn't enough, boot into System Recovery Options (best from Win7 DVD or Repair CD) to run Startup Repair a few times.
If this fails confirm the Win7 or it's 100mb System Reserved partition (preferred) is marked Active, then try Repairs again: Partition - Mark as Active (Method Two) |

TN,
Maybe I mis-understood. You tested your faulty drive and it's faulty as suspected. You then removed your drive from your friends computer and now it won't boot from it's C drive??? |

Took the WD drive from PC #1 and put it into PC #2 to test through Windows. Tests failed, I'm now planning to RMA the WD drive. I then proceed to take out the WD Drive from PC #2 and just keep the 160GB that's already in there. The next day, I try to start up PC #2, and it blue screens after 'Starting Windows'. Hope this makes it a bit easier to understand. If that isn't enough, boot into System Recovery Options (best from Win7 DVD or Repair CD) to run Startup Repair a few times.

Can I install Icon Packs designed for Build 7600 on to Build 7601? Can I install Icon Packs designed for Build 7600 to Build 7601? An Icon Pack was saying install on to 7600 only and after I checked my regedit, I learned that I have 7601 (Probably SP1, I don't know). Would I have any problems if I install the icon pack? Thanks. |
