Hi so i bought a new hdd it came broken bla bla.. I have a working one now... Kinda.. Soo I installed windows on the new one, started copying stuff from my old hdd aand at first when i disconected my old hdd everyone was fine but now without it i get a bcd error, which i know how to fix but when i type bootrec /fixmbr or bootrec /fixboot its fine But if i continue with other comands to fix it it says that it cant access it, its corrupted etc. When I go to cmd from my recovery disc it says that the disc is corupted something like that. I wrote chkdsk andd Alot of segments were unreadable. Please suggest something that is not a clean install which i did twice before and it cant be the disk i tested it when i had access to windiws... Help!

, one may not repair bad sectors. What you can do is run a long repair in Seatools . What this will do is move the bad sectors to an area of the disc that wont be accessed.

At this point in time it would be a good idea to back up information. The conventional wisdom by tech experts on backups is known as the 3-2-1 method.

Basically you want:

3 copies of any data you don't want to lose
2 different mediums it's stored on (so 2 different drives in your computer, for example)
1 copy kept offsite, to prevent against disaster.

Best of luck.
So you installed windows, while multiple drives were connected. Right?
Problem with this is, if your old drive has bootloader on it, you don't get new bootloader on new drive, when installing windows.
That's why you have to disconnect all the other drives, while installing windows.

Generally - to fix this, you have to create a new bootloader partition manually. Bootrec fixmbr/fixboot - doesn't fix this.

Can you post screenshot from Disk Management?
 
At first i did, but after i installed windows only with one drive conected.. I cant access windows it says Read error press ctrl alt dell to restart... Can ypu tell me what do i need to do in cmd to fix it? Thank you very much
