@zzz2496: I can't boot up the windows installation disk when the 500 gb SATA is connected. T.T

 

[zzz2496]

... I'm officially at a loss...

I'm assuming you have a drive that's on it's way to harddrive heaven... I'm hoping that I'm wrong though...

@zzz2496: I was able to get to the command prompt using the f8 option. when I tried to check the disk using chkdsk it says something like RAW. then later, it is already unrecognized. I need those data found at the Hard drive. OHHH!

 

[zzz2496]

Can you read the data off that HDD using other means (Linux/XP/whatever you got there)? If it said RAW, most of the time you're screwed... But I think most of data recovery software can recover it... probably a corrupted MFT or something...

Did you try re-imaging?
What platform do you have AMD or Intel?

 

[zaxarive]

@fantom711: intel. wat is re-imaging?

 

[gregrocker]

You want the HD diagnostics for your make HD which theog posted. Burn to CD, it will autostart with HD plugged.

HD diagnostics/repair full scans can repair HD's and extend their life indefinitely. I have saved many HD's using GWScan for WD and most other makes. You only need to autostart it and run full scan to find out what will be.

Re-imaging

Reimaging is formating the pc and installing xp, vista, or windows 7 over again. Its usually the last resort. But if you have a backup image it much faster than troubleshooting.

Pls help me. Im still having this problem. I have used seatool for dos. and i have tested the hdd. the test failed and the program said that i got a lot of bad sector and it cannot read a part of it. something like that. what am i going to do?

 

[gregrocker]

Copy off all data possible and replace the HD.

Use Paragon Rescue Kit boot CD if necessary to copy data off if Win7 won't start. You can also copy over the entire partition to reimage to another HD if you want to go that route. It may require repairing the MBR to start it up, using Win7 DVD/Repair CD Startup Repair.

 

[zaxarive]

how to copy the data possible?

 

[zaxarive]

wat i min is how can i start that oragin rescue kit outside windows? sorry i cant understand

 

[zaxarive]

i already get it.hehehe sorry

 

[gregrocker]

When you run the Paragon .exe it will burn to CD for you. Get free Registration code at link on Register page.

 

[zaxarive]

sir, i have tested it. and im stucked up. it hangs up when i am going to load the copy utility found inside the paragon program. but when i unplug the hdd, it runs smoothly. T.T

 

[gregrocker]

If Seatools can't fix the HD, and Paragon Rescue can't copy the data off, then I would unplug the HD, reinstall to another HD, then plug the bad HD back in to see if you can copy files over that way.

This is the reason we should always back up our files externally.

 

[zaxarive]

wat do u min reinstall to another hard drive?

 

[gregrocker]

Your HD is bad. Reinstall Win7 to another HD or if it came with your computer contact the computer manufacturer's tech support for Recovery Disks to reinstall to another HD.

The HD might still be under 1 year included warranty, check with tech support.

Otherwise, buy a new HD, clean reinstall Win7 using Product Code which came stickered to the computer, or is on your retail Win7 folder insert.
