Dell Inspiron one 2320 - Will not recover/repair
My sons PC Dell Inspiron One 2320 Windows 7 will not recover/repair itself.
Switch on Windows files will load across the screen, then asks to attempt to repair the system files etc. This may take some 3 or 4 minutes, then says it can't repair.
When looking at diagnostic report it lists,
Boot Mgr failed to find OS Loader.
Error code 0x490
also error code 0xc00000e9 unexpected I/O error has occurred.
I've tried a Windows 7 recovery disk, that it by-pass's doing nothing.
Tried a Windows 7 (Home Edition) Installation disk, but using the repair part not installation. But says this disk version is not compatible.
Tried to download a Windows 7 Repair, but say the Key Code is a Manufacturer installation.
By hook or crook I was able to get to My Computer and the drives are as below.
C: Recovery 4.22GB free of 14.8GB
D: OS 704 GB free of 916GB
X: Boot 28.8MB free of 31.2MB
Also managed to get to cmd prompt and run sfc /scannow on all 3 drives, but cannot complete as a system repair is pending and needs a restart then run sfc again later, nothing shows. I can also list all the Directories of the drives C: D: and X:
Any clues of how rectify the problem or is this a harddrive failure.
thanks
