Reply To: Hard Drive Error!

??:

Generaly, unless your could ear some grumpy noises for a while on this hdd, and a big ‘clack’, just before the error, your trouble is not that bad.

 

This could come from several places.

One thing to do is to avoid writing on it for now ( as this could come from the Mft (‘file table’ a sort of ‘database’ keeping which file is in which cluster .. and info of the file format) and if you do you might corrupt even more up to the loss of all data.

Now it could simply be a detection error (in case of usb hdd) or simply bad cluster(s)

 

What you have to say first is what king of drive it is, SDD, SATA, IDE , internal or external ?

is it the hdd where your Os seats (the boot one or not )

then describe the context of when the error occurs. (is it : after any recent driver install, if it happens on windows boot or after a while, …)

tell your Os and which one if win7 is it pro oem … ?

 

Did you do a scandisk to check for bad sectors (in this case they will be marked as bad you’ll loose two thre files and everything will be fine after (unless a system file is spot on on it, which will require a re install or repair)

 

Is it detected properly by windows or not , good format ( fat ntfs ..) good size ?

 

Well then with the info it ‘ll be easier to spot your trouble ” data-emoticon=”” srcset=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>
