So if I get the usb adapter as you suggest I would either using CHKDSK resolve my PC unuseable problem or it would directly identify that the Hard disc is faulty and needs replacing ?

i have all my data off the hard drive, what I want to be sure that the HD is definitely faulty are there any other tests I can do with my u/s PC. Thank you for your reply. Dugit

I have Medion p4101D desk top pc with windows 7 .My PC started going slow occasionally some time ago, what would happen when I clicked the mouse for something to happen the screen would freeze and I would usually have to exit the screen by logging off. This sort of problem then started to happen more frequently until now the PC is unuseable. I cannot get F11 to take PC back to factory condition . I've started in F8 safe mode but this will not work.. Have used start up and repair: result failed error code=0 X 490. Left my PC on then went back later and it had on screen: American Megatrends then a few lines and at end it said : Port0 Device error F1 to resume Any comments would be appreciated.
