Sign if Harddisk corrupted?

Mofrace · Apr 16, 2018

Hey,
Yesterday i was watching Youthoob[MemeLover sorry] , After that i shut down my pc. Now it's not working. I Tried everything to fix installing a new windows in it but it wont let my pc boot up. I Installed Windows in my other HDD It worked properly but i had to disconnect my HDD. But with new window installed on other drive and the drive which is causing no boot up problem is still doing that when i run the window installed in other hdd. Is My hardware corrupted or what? I haven't found anything on it through out the webernet..
I Just need the answer so, I can buy new HDD..
Thank You!

You have to set correct boot sequence in BIOS.
When you connect problematic drive, boot sequence changes and you have to fix it manually.

Anyway - when you make a troubleshooting topic, please include full specs of your pc.

Sorry,
PC Specs; 3 GB Ram DDR2
Motherboard; PI945GCM
Processor; Core 2 Duo e4500

[I know my specs are old i should think of upgrading but where i live is traditional, cultural, religious, uneven distribution of money etc. etc. so i cant get a better one. for now..]

I tried setting My Bios to default arranged them in proper order but that didn't work :T

Can you make a photo of BIOS settings you used and post here?

How many HDDs, SSDs are there in your system?

1st Drive is Problem.

P.S. I Tried Disabling the not booting problem Drive, also i did connect it to my pc, i disabled in in BIOS, But it still caused the same problem, now am kinda feel odd.. Also this problem occured when i turned down my pc, i've read on other forums there pc just shut down itself and this problem continued but their problems are not similar to mine.

old IDE drives do not last forever.....

if you installed windows to the other drive, boot from it by changing boot order, and see if the original, drive at least shows up in 'my computer'/'my Pc', not sure what WIndows you are using...

Might be time for a funeral pyre!

I don't see boot sequence settings on those screenshots.

Are those PATA drives? Can't read model names in those low res photos.

I wanted to see this screen (Boot configuration):

mdd1963 :

They worked very well for me sorry but these are greatly working for me.. I had Windows 8.1 in the original drive [1tb and trouble making drive]

SkyNetRising · Apr 17, 2018

Swap 1st and 2nd entry in this screen and save changes.

SkyNetRising :

I don't have boot configuration but mine doesn't collapses the cd rom, As it runs on SATA [Pretty Old, but believe me great pc] There are 4 sata and 3 of them are in use.. That imagehttp:// is the one you might be looking for...

Mofrace · Apr 17, 2018

Nvm Here is the window but they are sata. so..

SkyNetRising · Apr 17, 2018

Screenshot looks good. Your system is booting from (PS)-WD3200AA. Problem is with (PM)-WD-unreadable_model drive.
What error do you get, when booting with problematic drive connected?

SkyNetRising :

Nothing The Problem causing drive is wd10 i am booting from wd32 because thats where my windows is installed, currently i am using which does not cause any boot up problem , when i boot from wd10 it just stays at "logo screen" seriously i gave it time to turn on.. waited for 3 hours straight not working i know time it should take is 5-45 minutes..
But nothing works now i am using computer with wd10 disconnected wd32.. when i connect both to my computer my pc is like "am not turning" no really even when i boot from wd32 while having wd10 connected..

SkyNetRising · Apr 17, 2018

Mofrace :

Didn't understand that. "am not turning"?

Mofrace · Apr 17, 2018

SkyNetRising :

It stays at Rotating icon on windows 8.1 when i boot from "wd10" and if i try to boot with "wd32" connected "While" having both drives connected my window 7 which is installed on other drive it keeps saying "starting Windows" And stays like that, when i try to go into "Auto Repair" mod in windows 8.1 it loads then it screen goes entirely black..

SkyNetRising · Apr 17, 2018

Boot from windows installation media and run chkdisk on problematic drive.

Mofrace · Apr 17, 2018

SkyNetRising :

That's the problem i can't access those, i did try to do that but The "shift+Restart" Does show "auto repair" but shows black screen after that.. and stays like that..

SkyNetRising · Apr 17, 2018

Not Auto-repair.
Boot from windows installation media (windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10 install CD/USB),
choose troubleshooting options, go into command prompt and run chkdsk.

Mofrace · Apr 17, 2018

SkyNetRising :

Yeah i forgot to mention that, i did try that too, infact when i tried reinstalling window in [wd10](Troublemaker drive) It stayed at "preparing setup" and stays like that... When i disconnected " wd10 " it gave no error!

try scanning the hard drive for bad sectors and corrupt partitions.

Mofrace · Apr 18, 2018

i can't do that, my drive just won't allow me to access cmd [trouble maker device]

SkyNetRising · Apr 18, 2018

You could connect problematic drive with usb-sata adapter after pc has booted into windows.
And run chkdsk after that.
