  • tnx

  • It was about a hard drive failure and if it is a virus can it steel my photos?

  • Please help and respond. My computer went to a black screen with just a recycle bin and a bunch of errors popping up and like these things with people talking about ipods and stuff please tell me what happened.

  • @FuIIOfFaiI Yeah i'm pretty sure that's a mad hardware issue. Could still be your hard drive just breaking down though, or any other computer parts

  • Windows won't even start on my computer, if does, it's just a second then crashes. I looked up the error on google, and it said it might be a harddrive issue. But, I just installed a brand new hard drive and it still does it. Maybe it's the wires.

  • This wasn't much for troubleshooting...

  • @conpacked You don't; it's permanent. Only fix is a new hard drive

  • can u tell me

    how can i remove phyical bad secotor from my hdd.

  • Umm... what if the error checking doesn't work? when i clicked on it, it froze and won't open the thingy =(...

  • Wouldn't checking a hard drive for errors if it's failing cause it to run harder and therefore fail on you? I would suggest backing it up before running any kind of hdd test if you suspect a failure.
