Can some one please help me? I have windows xp professional 32/86 bit sp3 I have a 320GB hdd in my laptop.
I started getting errors and it would always take for ever on start up. (Yes I had used ccleaner to edit start up list). I also got error when trying to copy files from a specific place. I restarted my computer and got the bsod (blue screen of death). I looked at the error on the internet and it said to boot from windows xp disk which I did and do a chkdsk /r. It took for ever to do the checking but after a while at about 80% it stopped and said there is an error and bad sectors or some thing I can’t remember.
I then tried to reformat the hdd using NTFS not the quick format and it failed to format showing an error message.

Hi there
Can some one please help me?
I have windows xp professional 32/86 bit sp3
I have a 320GB hdd in my laptop.
I started getting errors and it would always take for ever on start up. (Yes I had used ccleaner to edit start up list). I also got error when trying to copy files from a specific place. I restarted my computer and got the bsod (blue screen of death). I looked at the error on the internet and it said to boot from windows xp disk which I did and do a chkdsk /r. It took for ever to do the checking but after a while at about 80% it stopped and said there is an error and bad sectors or some thing I can’t remember.
I then tried to reformat the hdd using NTFS not the quick format and it failed to format showing an error message.
Is the hdd broken or can it be fixed?
