Bootup / HDD issue

My computer was stuck at the logging off (while shutting down) screen a few days ago, so I had to do a forced power off (pressed power button for 4sec).

When I tried to turn the computer back on, it would now stuck on the Windows 7 loading screen, without HDD activity. After several tries, I attempted to run Windows Repair through F8/DVD, in which I tried both the auto repair option and through command prompt with bootsect /nt60 (all/sys/d: )

This method allowed the Windows to boot into the desktop sporadically, and yesterday, after booting into desktop, I noticed that one of my HDD is missing.
So I tried to reboot again, and noticed that the said drive would fail during SMART...

Again, I ran the Windows Repair, and tried to access it through command prompt, with the following results:
(G drive is the one with issue)
(chkdsk /f on G: )

And through Ubuntu pendrive...
(Ubuntu error when trying to open the HDD folder)

Does this mean the HDD is dead? Or is this something that can be fixed through software/configuration of some sort?

Thank you for the help!!

The filesystem is a mess - that doesn't mean there is a physical problem with the HD.

Well, if it's dead... I guess the only option is to replace it with a new one...

In the case of messed up filesystem, any recommendation on how to proceed with the recovery?

Right now, it seems that whenever the said HDD did not pass SMART, Windows would boot up okay, but I would not be able to access it in anyway under Windows and OnTrack Recovery.

However, if the said HDD pass SMART, Windows would be stuck at the Windows loading screen.

I am thinking of unplugging the HDD and moving it to an external enclosure to solve the boot up issue, but I am not sure how to proceed with the recovery past that.

Any recommendation would be grateful, thanks!!

Thanks for the tips so far!
I decided to buy a enclosure and a HDD to replace it.

However, when I booted into Ubuntu Pendrive to give it another go before tearing down the PC, the previously unreadable disk is suddenly readable now, with another previously readable disk now unreadable!

Ubuntu's disk manager was able to identify those two disks, yet unable to identify the filesystem... How strange is that!

Anyway, I decided that the physical disks must be alright, and the issues must be of logical nature. With that, I formatted my C: and reinstalled Win7. This seemed to solve the "stuck at loading screen" and I was able to get all my data back.

Yet, during the process, Win7 did not load my 2TB backup drive, and I had to go into Disk Management to configure it... All I had to did was map a drive letter to it. However, after that, I noticed that the drives' status are quite strange. The 2TB backup drive is indicated as "system" and "active", as seen in the image attachment...

(when I right click on the 2TB drive, the option to format it was grayed out.)

From my research, the "system" status should be on my C:\...
So my questions now are...
Should I be worried about the current status of the drives?
If these status may cause havoc in the future, how do I fix them?

Thank you again for the help!

Hi Zomad,

That is normal.

It should be ok as it is.

However, I would make the win 7 drive system - it will be easier if you want to change your drives, and for backup imaging.

I did some checking...
It seems that I'll have to do some fixing with bcd editing...
Will give it a try after work today.

Not sure if a program called EasyBCD will be a better choice for such task..

Please let me know if anyone got any suggestion, thanks!
