Afternoon, i am repairing a laptop for a friend which has windows 7 and the past week the laptop has come up during start up saying windows has detected a problem with your hard drive, back up files, which i have done.
I have read on many websites this error message means the hard drive is on its way out, i do manage to log into windows and i see through my computer that the hard drive has a recovery partition. Is it possible to copy the partition or all of the contents onto another hard drive because now i have to get a new drive how am i going to put windows 7 back on if i cant reinstall from that partition because it is on the hard which has the problem.
Please can someone help
