OP, have you ever defragment your hard drive? install malwarebytes and scan your system. download and install ccleaner and scan ya system. u can use d latest avast free antivirus to scan for viruses. avast is not heavy its a lightweight software so it will not slow ya system. i have a pavilion dv6000 laptop with 2.0ghz intel celeron dual core cpu 32bit cpu running a 32 bit windows 8.1 with 2gig ram. very fast. lastly, do a S.M.A.R.T Diagnostic test. you can use the SMART feature provided in d bios. u will see it as hard disk self test. if it return failure, guy backup ya data and change hard disk sharp sharp.

nah! e g Intel core i7-2336. that's what I mean.

Hello everyone! I am also having similar problem. my hard disk is failing and not accessible presently. the windows normally warns me of the failure b4 it eventually failed cos I had my os running on it then. so because of that I swapped the hdd to another smaller hdd to run my os cos my pc has space for 2 hdds at a time so I could access my data it while the os runs o the other one. Fine, this worked well but after the warning msg started displaying again and I lacked idea on what to do to forestall this. so it has happened now, I need the help of gurus here to help me suggest what I can do to repair the failing hdd.

I have attached the picture of error msg I get when I try to access the hdd trough my computer and the picture of back up warning msg (cos I dont have another place to back up my files.)

Thanks so much in anticipation.

you would have heed to your computer warning and back up your data.

Any hard drive that DISKPART sees can be recovered. running a hard disk diagnostic SMART test and it returns a failed diagnosis den the drive is gone. for those that has internal hard drives but don't have access to the diagnostic software, you can use the BIOS embedded hard disk s.m.a.r.t test to test internal hard drives. so when a hard disk test shows failed, go buy new drive and try to initiate backup. when it suddenly crash test whether disk part can see it otherwise go buy new one.

is it for sale? core i7-________? fill in the ...

me too

Feel free to add
