A Bad Harddrive?

[kyleneedshelp]

Well.. my laptop did this thing where it would go really slow..then crash.. I took it to Star-Tech in the mall..and they looked at it and said it was a bad hard-drive sector or something like that? I was wondering, is there anyway to get around that other than me re-installing windows every-time it crashed? I don't have the money to get a new hard-drive or anything either, plus I feel like Star-Tech is a rip off and just wants my money. -Thanks, Kyle!

Is Windows 7 . . .

- the original installed OS on the system? No. Vista was originally installed.
-I bought the Windows 7 Fresh Install disk @ Office Max..?

The failure I'm showing is actually coming from the usb hub.

Use the drop down window to select windows 7 32bit.
You should install the items listed under the driver tab there.

OK, I need to install all of them? And I think I have Windows 7 64 bit, will it make a difference?

This page shows only drivers that are not contained in Windows 7. is what it says.. oh and which ones specifically?

 

[theog]

If you have 64bit, install 64bit drivers.

 

[Maguscreed]

yeah I said 32bit based on the information under your name on the left.

I'm installing a few but should I install the multiples?

 

[Maguscreed]

I am not familiar with that 3g pack. You can't hurt anything by trying generally driver installations will just refuse to work if it's the wrong version or device.

Hold your Windows key+Pause Break at once to show system spec. This will tell you your Windows version and whether 32 or 64 bit.
If you can find the make/model of your drive, we can get a utility for you to check it with.

I NEED HELP NOW! IT'S DOING AGAIN! AND I'MA LOSE ALL MY MUSIC (My music I made) I'm in sfae mode right now, but please help! I don't wanna lose it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Britton30]

Which suggestions have you followed? Where and how is your music being lost? You need to be specific about your issues, "slow" and "it crashes" is not specific enough to provide any real help.

 

[theog]

Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

OK then! Here's exactly what it does! Everything will be running just fine, I'll be using my Zune software, (this usually happens while syncing my zune, but it's happpened while I was online too, so it's not from the Zune.) Then it freezes, the Zune program, then eventually everything else. Then the mouse eventually freezes. You can'g get it to turn off, or anything. I know it's not the harddrive, because I switched out harddrives yesterday to see if it was, and it still crashes, any suggestions?

 

[Britton30]

Uninstall Zune and test again. again, what tests have you actually done, other than guess?
