HDD not booting OS | WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB

[baba223]

Hello, my laptop's WD hard drive decided not to boot Windows 7 anymore. When I turn on the laptop it will just show the windows loading screen but it never reaches past that (no login screen). Instead it flashes a blue screen for a fraction of a second (I cant read what's on it because of the short time) and then it tries to reboot and does the cycle all over again.

So I don't think my HDD is fully broken. I have now hooked it up with a sata to usb cable to another laptop and in CMD witn DISKPART and the 'list volume' command the following shows up:

Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 0 D DVD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 1 System Rese NTFS Partition 100 MB Healthy System
Volume 2 C NTFS Partition 280 GB Healthy Boot
Volume 3 Recovery NTFS Partition 16 GB Healthy Hidden
Volume 4 NTFS Partition 783 MB Healthy Hidden
Volume 5 F System Rese NTFS Partition 100 MB Healthy
Volume 6 E RAW Partition 465 GB Healthy

Volume 6 is my 500GB harddrive and Volume 5 is the system reserve partition that windows made on my 500gb harddrive.

I am really only concerned about getting the data off this harddrive, but if I can fix it to boot again and work like normal that would be good too.
I saw an article where someone copied like windows files from the disk to the harddrive (when you boot up from the disc and select CMD) but I cant find the article anymore and dont know if this is useful to my issue.

Also, I cant get the contents of my hard drive from having it hooked up with sata to usb to this laptop because windows asks me to format it

Try "Startup Repair" by booting your laptop from a Windows 7 System Repair Disc which you should have made when your laptop was working okay.

If you don't have one, it's not machine-specific so you can make one on a different Windows 7 PC as long as as it's running the same "bit" version as your laptop (ie 32-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 7 as appropriate).

To make system repair disc on Windows 7:

Control Panel >> Backup & Restore
Put a blank CD in the CD/DVD writer.
Click "Create a system repair disc" in the left-hand panel.

I did this, the little loading bar was moving for 24 hours when I check earlier today, and it has now finally finished.
I have still got the exact same problem though. When it reboots by itself after sitting on the "loading windows" screen for about 5 minutes now it doesn´t flash that blue screen though (not even for a fraction of a second)

EDIT: I highly doubt his was caused by a virus since I am very careful what I install and have malwarebytes with realtime detection on all the time. However, it could be possible.

EDIT 2: I hooked the HDD to another laptop again with a sata to usb cable.
When I try to go to it in CMD I get this message: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

If trying to fix the windows installation is impossible or if the harddrive is actually broken then is there just a way to get my data off it?

Anyone? When I CHKDSK e: /f in cmd it doesn't fix the problem.

I still get Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

1. After connecting the disk to your other laptop, test it with the WD HDD diagnostic program...

2. Assuming the drive isn't totally defective you could try one of those "data recovery" programs available on the net and hopefully resurrect all or a portion of your data. One of those programs that seems to be getting good reviews lately is the Easeus Data Recovery program...

And you could check with Google for other programs of a similar type. It's a crapshoot at best.

And when the dust settles one way or another you will arrange for systematic comprehensive backups of your entire system in the future, right?
