Hey guys,
My HDD has recently failed on me. I was downloading a file when my laptop froze and following a reboot i was met with a blank screen and i simply could not load past it. This was present before seeing any windows logo, and there was absolutely no access to my desktop or even to the point of the log-on screen.
I have tried formatting the HDD by using the Windows install/recovery disc, and i think this has succeeded in simply removing all information on the drive and not fixed the problem. There is only 1 partition on the drive. I have also attempted to reinstall Windows after formatting, but it just results in freezing and a reboot always takes me back to a black screen.
So now i have run out of ideas, and was wondering if anyone out there has any idea how to overcome this problem. I do have another HDD that im currently using, with Windows 7 etc. installed so i can access my desktop if needed.
Thanks
