A problem with a hard disk

Post by Rksk » Thu Dec 30, 2010 11:57 am

There is a hard disk, installed windows xp on it. when I try to boot the pc with it, it can't load windows, only show a blue screen after starting to load. So i tried to repair the windows intallation with a windows bootable CD. but in disk checking task, it stucks.

then I plugged this hard drive as the slave with another hard drive witch working & have installed windows xp. now i can browse this hard disk and do every file managing tasks. also I scanned this hard drive with windows disk scan. it got long time to comple & some sounds came from the disk like "tak tak". but it completed without any erros. then i tried to format it. but formating stucks at the begining.

what can be the problem? is it means, this hard drive has broken & never works?

THANKZ.

It seems your hard disk is going to damage permanently soon. Backup all your important data as soon as possible.

maybe you should,
FIXBOOT and FIXMBR, then a FORMAT C:
blue screen, could be memory issues, boot.ini corrupted, most likely mbr or BIOS is not set correctly.

hmm what will i do if i see blue screen of death, i would go into BIOS and do Default options , than try to rebuild mbr record from here if it is fixed format the C:\ from MSDOS and reinstall something else ,
