[QUOTE="donetao, post: 339035, member: 27614"] Hi ! You could try booting with a Linux CD. I like Puppy Love. Linux doesn't need a working HD. It boots from RAM. If it will boot into Linux and run, then there's a good change your HD could be going bad!! You could also use a live CD called Hiren's Boot CD. Here's link explaining how to use Puppy Love Linux!! [URL]https://www.winhelp.us/recover-files-using-puppy-linux.html[/URL] There are a lot of live CD's that you can boot with. You can use seagate dos, which is a live CD that will boot and test your HD. [URL]http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/201271en[/URL] You can use memtest86+ to boot and test your RAM.
