Bsod: cannot start pc usinf System Recovery Options

[djrobison22]

My Dell Studio laptop 1745 got the bsod a couple weeks ago. Ive tried doing a repair with a boot disk as well as a Windows 7 Install disk. Only the boot disk gets me to System Recovery Options but even then i keep getting the same message using either disk:

0xc000000f
The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible

I dontvknow what to do next. I tried using the command prompt to see if my drive would even show up and inputting Cir only shows that the c drive contains recovery and has 4 entries. 2 from 2009 when the recovery partition was created and 2 from august 2015 that i created because for some reason it said i didnt have a recovery partition.

There is a file called recsys in one if the original partitions.

***Im getting a message that appears to indicate that im posting a question thatvhas already been posted and i am doing that as the site indicated that the last time my question was asjed was over 720 days ago and that i should start a new thread. I dont want to do anything wrong. I am at my wits end and dont know what to do. I just tried to do i clean install and im getting a message that the proper drivers are not available so now i probably have to burn a new dvd of the iso for windows 7. Plus, somebody marked out all the letters on my license key on my computer so now what do i do about that? I dont have any other documentation.

It sounds like your hard drive has failed.
I would recommend to run following bootable tests if possible to verify that the hard drive indeed has failed.

Diagnostics Test

 HDD TEST

Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums

   Note

Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

Run chkdsk

I cannot run Tools for Windows as I cannot start my system. I will try to burn a Tools for DOS that is bootable to check my hard drive.

If my hard drive is shot is there any way to get a copy of a ISO I created several months ago off of the hard drive?

Thanks,

You can use this to copy files off the HDD:

cannot start laptop using System Recovery

I found my Windows installation disk, ran a pre-boot test by pressing F12 at startup which said it could not find a problem, inserted my installlation disk and got the attached Startup Repair report.

At this point should i try any of the System Recovery Options or do a clean reinstallation of Windows?

I do not care about any files on the leptop.

Thanks,

I would recommend a clean installation immediately, the file system is damaged/corrupted but the extend is unknown.
