Ya it crashed again on me. So not really fixed. My PC hasn't been used in a year and hasn't been connected to the Internet in that time. So I may need to get a wireless card for it and update it before I do that. But I will check online to see how I can use another PC to attach the drive to...

When I ran the command: chkdsk C: /f /r /x It didn't seem to work, however when I ran the second time I ran the command: chkdsk C: /f /r I left out the "x" and it seemed to correct the issue.... At least thus far

I have another decent PC and a very very old laptop that hasn't been turned on in years. Don't think I'll need them now though. The second chkdsk through command prompt seems to have corrected it. It still peaks out through start up, but that only lasted a couple minutes and I've now been...

It completed and restarted... Nothing changed, still bouncing from 99-100% Disk for the first 5-10 minutes of start up, back to 0%, only to spike back at 85-99% minutes later. Running it one more time

500gb hard drive Right now it just says Scanning and repairing drive (C: ): 13% complete Dont see anything about steps yet

Safe mode seemed fine.... So I ended up using command prompt and typed in the command chkdsk C: /f /r /x Had to restart the computer to make that work, and it's now at 13% complete and has been there for 5 minutes or so. The article I read said I may lose some data and if the disk is failing...

So.... Ive run a check on the drive through properties on the C Drive and using tools to run a check and it says there are no problems on the drive... Any other suggestions or is my laptop just fried?

Probably not... But thank you for your help tonight... Appreciated Hope ya have a good sleep

I don't have a spare laptop hard drive unfortunately... And just now learning how to use scandisc

I'll try that now Thanks

Haven't tried safe mode. Got it to turn on, but was super slow, and it's been peaking on Disc under the Task Manager since it turned on, so I'm pretty sure that's the issue. No idea how to fix it, but that seems to be the culprit. My laptop should be able to handle windows 10... Or so I...

Don't know why I didn't think of that. Trying now, thanks. Crossing my fingers that it solves it. Frustrating. Right after it finished restoring, roughly 20-30 minutes, as I entered my password for reboot it crashed again, turned off and then back on after 3-4 seconds... Before it even fully...
