Hard drive failure
by Larry W
(Florida)
My laptop computer was hanging and I had to do a fast shutdown. After rebooting the computer, the boot process stalled at hung at the splash screen. Eventually check disk initialized and ran through phase 1 without a problem and 27% complete through phase 2, with a few blue screens along the way causing me to start the process over twice. At 27% complete the thrashing and grinding noises began and the boot process stopped without activity or an error message. Attempting the process again by first trying to boot to into safe mode, check disk initialized found and deleted a bad attribute during phase one whcih it delted and reached 27% complete through phsase 2 withough grinding or thrashing or stalling but failing to proceed further though not ceasing activity. The next day on reboot, the splash screen appeared briefly, and looped back to the boot menu. Disabling returning to th boot menu in case of hard drive failure caused the compute to look for a network card on reboot. Digonosis allegedly revealed a bad head. Can this drive be repaired?
