i don't know if this will be related but i thought i would post this thread here

Thanks, I took a look at the thread. Looks like you have been on quite a ride. Hopefully the non-genuine problem is not related to your hard disk problems. Have you run a disk check with Automatically fix file system errors checked to see if you have errors again? Remember, for any drives that do not give the message:
"Windows has checked the file system and found no problems"
run disk check again. In other words, if it says:
"Windows has made corrections to the file system"
after running the disk check, run the disk check again.

Looks like you have been on quite a ride

yup i have lol
i think it might have been hdd related not sure anyways after i shutdown my pc i ran disk check with both boxs checked & got tons of errors

1st something along the lines of recovering file indexed
2nd deleting corrupt attributes
3rd recovering orphaned file
4th replacing invalid security id with default security id (did this i think to every file)
5th inserting data attributes into file
5th windows replaced bad clusters (there was 6 of them among them was my AV and pagefile)
correcting errors in the master file table MFT mirror & then after all that & a lil more it said restarting windows
after a min. of waiting i went up stairs it rebooted and didnt want to load windows just a black screen no water mark nothing
since it didn't want to load windows i backed everything off my 2nd hdd from my old pc installed xp on it put it in the new pc which is the one with the hdd that's failing and had to fool around with it for a min. to get it to recognize it then had to get it to recognize my dvd drive as i only got 1 ide slot on my pc mobo but finally im back but with xp till i get a new hdd that has more room for 7 & i was hearing a sound like it was trying to load i thought it was maybe my cpu but no it was the hdd i dont hear it anymore now that im using a different hdd so im thinking all might be well
now i gotta hook the failing hdd up & boot from this hdd and then back up the data that is still there

 

[writhziden]

Yeah, I was worried the drive might be failing. That does not sound good at all for that drive. Hope you can get the data backed up. Best wishes!

 

[bigdog2626]

i got the drive up and running as the 2nd hdd
and im still not getting the sound of it trying to load
im backing up the data right now off of it then after i do that i going try to format using a different file system 2 or 3xs
and scan the disk as well 2 or 3xs & maybe just maybe i can use it as a 2nd hdd maybe

 

[writhziden]

Backup the data first. Then run the diagnostic tools for the drive. If it is your Western Digital drive, use WD Support / Downloads / SATA & SAS / WD Caviar Blue / SE / SE16 (SATA II) if it is a Seagate drive, use SeaTools. Use the DOS version if the Windows version will not complete.

im not booting my WD drive no longer

ok ran check disk again got these errors
deleted an indexed entry from $SII
cleaning up all unused indexed entries from index $SII of file 9
cleaning up all unused indexed entries from index $SDH of file 9
cleaning up all unused security descriptors
fixing mirror copy of the sec. descriptor data stream
replacing usn journal file record segment
then something about MFT couldn't read it because it booted xp to quick

now when i run check disk the report don't appear it runs in xp
you dont think changing the file system to fat or whatever then putting it back to ntfs wouldnt do to much as of fixing errors in the file system

 

[writhziden]

Probably not. I am concerned that you are getting errors this frequently. I still recommend running the diagnostic utilities from the drive's manufacturer.

 

[bigdog2626]

Probably not

but he wouldn't do no harm to go in the drive & delete everything would it?

I am concerned that you are getting errors this frequently

yea me to

I still recommend running the diagnostic utilities from the drive's manufacturer.

running Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows right now still couldn't run the quick test so ill report back in about a hour and half

ok ran the test and there was bad sectors that maybe repairable & i chose to repair them it started repairing it after it was nearly complete i got error was detected while repairing bad sectors

[writhziden]

That would indicate your hard drive is failing and is not worth trying to salvage. Is it still under warranty?

 

[bigdog2626]

Is it still under warranty?

i don't know ill look into that with some luck maybe it is
but would deleting everything on the drive do any harm im thinking it wouldn't

 

[writhziden]

it wouldn't, but that drive is going to be very unreliable. In my opinion, it is not worth the hassle and frustration of trying to keep it going, especially if it is still under warranty.

 

[bigdog2626]

well im thinking it is not within the warranty

WD will have no liability for any Product returned if WD determines that:

• The product was stolen from WD.
• The asserted defect:
  • is not present,
  • cannot reasonably be fixed because of damage occurring when the Product is in the possession of someone other than WD, or
  • is attributable to misuse, improper installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels and opening or removing external covers (unless authorized to do so by Western Digital or an authorized Service Center)), accident or mishandling while in the possession of someone other than WD.
• The Product was not sold to you as new.
• The product was not used in accordance with Western Digital specifications and instructions.
• The product was not used for its intended function (for example, desktop drives used in an Enterprise environment).

removed all files & reformatted the drive

testing it again also im going to look for another program if this one reports there's problems to get another program to say there was errors & what not

also this problem might be due to having it in a basement being cold
so when this hdd finally fails 100% what would it do just stop responding,catch fire & R blow my pc

also how could i find out what kind of fail im having

WMARW0554105 WD3200AAKS-00VYA0 Out of Limited Warranty 2/2/2011† Upgrade

 

[writhziden]

If the hard drive fails, it will basically become louder and louder, data will become corrupted more and more often, sectors will go bad at a faster rate, or it will stop spinning altogether. Depends on the type of failure. It won't blow up your PC.

I do not think the drive being somewhat cold is going to hurt performance; it is actually more likely to help performance since heat issues often cause drive failures.

 

[bigdog2626]

thanks for that bit of info
i ran check disk at boot up again and no error reports
i got only a text file & 4 avis on the hdd after the report it started to do the 2nd hdd that i been booting from & i noticed that that it said there was 76kb in bad sectors nothing else

you think this set up would mess up my pc's mobo R cpu
i only got 1 ide slot on my pc which is meant im thinking only for the dvd drive could also be for a hdd
i got the 2nd hdd from my old pc connected to that & as of right now it boots from it then the sata drive just sits connected i didn't do nothing inside the bios just yet as i dont like to mess around in there to much
if not ill use this set up intill i can afford a new drive

how would i check the disk like this from my xp hdd
by the way the drive sounds good right now
came across this

[writhziden]

You could check it from XP just using the standard disk check. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html

i have been reading up on the subject of bad sectors & i think maybe i could exclude them from being used
i found a thread on the subject How to fix bad sectors or clusters on hard drive ? - Hardware Peripherals
im now 0n post 13 which might have some useful info & whatnot How to fix bad sectors or clusters on hard drive ? - Hardware Peripherals

1. If a HDD has a mechanical failure, i.e. makes a clunking or clanking type noise (similar to a knocking noise) while you are attempting to use it,
or it does not power on or spin at all, then the HDD most likely is "Kaput"

which this hdd isn't making no load noise it powers on & is recognized by windows im thinking it might not want to spin sometimes but it it does spin since using this 2nd hdd to boot from everything seems to work im running check disk in cmd right now by typing chkdsk /r e:
to see any if any errors so far no errors & im on stage 5 at 50%
now in that thread i posted they said something about kill disk what do you think

2. If however the HDD is recognized by the BIOS and it does spin, then there is hope.

which it is recognized by the bios & does spin with no load clunking sound

 

[bigdog2626]

results of check disk

man im thinking this hdd might be repairable im not hearing no sounds & haven't heard no sounds for 4 hours of use havent been using that hdd directly but still running
im going to make sure its nice & snug then move my pc's location from my desk
once in awhile it would shake from me hitting the disk not a hard shake but enough to hear the case rattle
have really heard no sounds like the ones in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjgOSxKy-FQ
only sound i hear is at startup & that sounds like its humming or an engine trying to start up

like right now i have had no real issue with this hdd i have installed windows xp then updated my pc fully then installed 7 again no problems im think if i can cut the drive in half R something it might work since my hdd is 320gb & might have any where from 2gb-160gb of bad sectors R what every they are called
but my hdd has no

clunking or clanking type noise

& it has to be spinning for me to use it right now as i type so its spinning right now and no noises by following the tut on this thread post 13

do you think it would do the job?
