OK, older build with win 7. Had a failure to load win 7 a week back out of the blue. Loaded safe mode w/o issue. Restarted and win7 booted up OK. Used a few more times i.e. on/off over a couple days with no overt issues. Then moved to a new house. Computer tower went in the car. Finally hooked everything up and it fails to load win 7. Goes to another screen where it says "Windows failed to start" where it says you can repair with the win7 repair disc. Tried the disc and rebooted. For whatever reason, the disc won't load. Tried an old ERD disc. THAT will load and shows SSD that win7 is on shows everything being on the SSD.
Resorted to buying an old laptop to hopefully help out. It also has win7 ultimate. Used it to make another rescue disc. Computer still wouldn't load it (boot order is obviously seeing it as it loaded ERD from a DVD).
Put the SSD from the computer, into the laptop. It auto-ran chkdsk and seemingly fixed a few things and went a little further with the win7 splash screen then griped about no video driver (think the laptop has an integrated intel video driver). Tried it BACK in the PC and same thing as before.
So I'm trying to figure out a way to verify if the computer's ssd is still good or not, AND trying to figure out if there's a hardware failure on the PC? PC is old (still running an 8350) but worked fine for what I used it for. Would help to know in advance what might be bad and what's not. Also, is there anyway to load the win7 from the ssd on the laptop? If I get a SATA to usb cable, would it be possible to put a driver into it and tweak it's registry with ERD?
