    Computer issue

    Im having troubles with my slave drive all of a sudden....

    just started after a restart last week...

    upon start up it seems that it is still being read, but then while booting it goes into that disk check and it checks that drive and every sector comes up unreadable...

    Is it shot?

    my computer always has start up issues, it was self built and for the most part I know what Im doing, but I guess I fucked up somewhere because I have problems booting all of the time...so I just keep trying until it wants to play nice and work...

    but this problem I just cant explain....

    Sounds like it's gone tits up...
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    Try changing the IDE cable. When i had that big Harddrive problem a month or so ago, that was the problem. Take a look if thats the issue before you start messing with the drive itself

    Thanks, Ill give that a try...my computer has always worked screwy when rebooting, I must have messed up somewhere building this computer, which is the one and only one I ever put together from the ground up....but hey its been about 3-4 years and it works as long as I dont restart it hahah then it messes up something fierce, and getting it to work is just patience and reset button

    If you're getting bad sectors, that basically means your done. There is a long shot you can try, but it will take up an active computer for several days, possibly even longer than a week.

    There is a tool on the Hiren BootCD 9.1 called "HDD Regenerator". Sometimes it can fix/recover some bad sectors, but often times it can't. The tool takes a damn long time to run though, and on an HD with a lot of bad sectors it would probably take a week or more of straight running it.

    Not much else you can do yourself about bad sectors, to me that's worse than physical damage to the drive.

    No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

    If the computer didn't send the right signal to the drive when shutting off then the drive probably didn't have time to spin around to it's parking space and instead dropped the r/w head on valuable sectors of the platters.
