[QUOTE="Vasudev, post: 445915, member: 30411"] What about Parted magic on HBCD, did you try running that and check disk status. You can try flashing that BIOS.exe file on MiniXP and be sure to disable secure boot and instruct Lenovo PC to boot in legacy mode. I suggest you to disable PXE boot to network option in your BIOS, mostly your lenovo uses Qualcomm Atheros so i'm guessing, you'd be probably seeing Atheros Boot Agent 6.x or something. Set ODD/USB flash drive as first priority and next your HDD. Was your HDD WD or Hitachi ones. If your PC boots fine with Parted Magic, run disk eraser to erase your whole disk, if you're lucky it might restore your disk health to 50-60%. Run in AHCI mode while booting Parted Magic. [/QUOTE]
