The best option now for Chooseyant is testing the main drive itself usually with a diagnostics tool provided by the manufacturer to confirm or rule out that being the source of the problem. That's where he is at present.
But seeing Windows installed on the drive outside of the present system will present other hardware profile/activation problems unless seeing at least a repair install first when reinstalled prior to any attempt on that. Trying a different drive and still seeing the same problem would be another way to rule the first drive out however.
When using the hardware tester on the last build it only confirmed what had already been suspected about the bios chip giving out after a full 3yrs. of use. The problems were consistent with the usual cause determined without any softwares needed.
Granted some have evolved a bit over the years to actually be of some use while others tend to be unreliable and often misidentify the actual problems as newer boards have become more complex. A program well written and kept updated on a regular basis seeing newer versions often would be the thought as far as software testers.
