BSOD after restart, unmountable boot error 0x000000ED

[DrPikachu64]

In addition, the WinDFT boot disc cannot detect the C drive.

Try to make a backup asap.
Use the ISO to check your disk .... but it's almost sure faulty

Running another chksdk process (because I haven't been able to get WinDFT to detect the hard disk yet). Currently, it's in stage 3, and I found out it's not slow all the time; there's just parts where it goes 1.5 files per second, and then it goes as fast as it normally would.

Try seatools for windows.

The installer doesn't seem to want to load in Safe Mode. The Windows Installer window pops up, disappears after not even a second, and there's no disk activity to suggest the installer is even loading.

You can boot in normal mode! Do #97

Chkdsk finished; no errors detected.

...Until I restarted to do the backup again. Now I'm stuck at the initialisation screen with an "AHCI Port 0 Device Error" message that brings me to the BIOS menu.

So I suppose that last chkdsk bricked it. Great.

Make a backup of everything as soon as possible. Eventually only drag/drop documents

Message has nothing to do with chkdsk. AHCI port 0 device error: The sata controller is dying or disk is faulty..... I told you that at least 5 times before

Then I need to figure out how to get pass the BIOS menu.

 

[DrPikachu64]

Still can't get past the BIOS menu without disabling the hard drive.

Alright, used the installation dongle to boot up, so I'll try using the command prompt as a backup proxy.

xcopy c:\users [g:\roughbackup] [/E] [/K] [/O] [/J]

Any advice?

 

[DrPikachu64]

The files I wanted to back up have been backed up, and I'll get my computer sent in sometime this week. I have an extended warranty on it, so I suppose I'll see what they'll do with it.

It wasn't the ending I was hoping for, but thanks for the help!

What OS is booting from dongle? Even xcopy will hang!! It doens't skip the bad sectors

 

[DrPikachu64]

I booted Windows 7 from the dongle. And I copied just the files I wanted, so I'll just deal with reinstalling my programs if I get my laptop back.
