 Posted: Thu Nov 11, 2010 10:42 am Post subject: Computer Won't Start, BSOD |
 |
|
Just last night, I was on my computer and it finished installing updates
I also installed Partition Magic 8.0 but didn't use it
But then suddenly I got a Blue Screen of Death and my computer restarted
Now my computer won't start at all
It just says
Windows Failed to Restart
Here is a pic of the BSOD and what it takes me to after
I try to go to recovery manager but It wont let me recover anything as it doesn't see any OS
I even tried to go to Safe Mode but still the same problem I get a Blue Screen of Death again
Edit:
I put the HDD in another computer and the only thing that shows up is the recovery partition (10GB) Even though the Drive is about 320GB
So the problem is the HDD
What can I do to recover the lost partition (meaning the other 300GB of space)?? (Disk C)
Has the hard drive completely failed?
Any help? Is the HDD corrupted?
Please don't tell me to reformat
My computer is a Dell, windows 7 32 bit, Quad Core with 3 GB Of Ram

| Sounds like physical damage if it cannot see your OS partition. Or a damn good virus.

I doubt its a virus
It still sees the other parition (Recovery)
I hope its not physical damage, I had some files on there that were important!
Can any program bring it back like the lost parititon?

I doubt you'll be able to get it working again, best bet is to reformat and then try a file recovery program to see if you can get your important files back, don't count on it though.
Either something got corrupted or as Hero said, physical damage.

You'll have to get a new hard drive then, sometimes hard drives just mess up for no reason, happened to my old one (except it just stopped working altogether).

Is there any way to recover any data?

I guess you could get a new hard drive and set it as the main drive, then once you have windows installed you could get a recovery program to try and recover files off of the broken drive. (Although I doubt you'll be able to recover what you need)

You have a severe malware infection.
Restart your system and head into safemode with networking
Download malwarebytes, do a full scan.
