Guest Lil' Dave Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Re: XP home edition You obviously have some method of access to the internet. You need to download the diagnostics appropriate to your hard drive manufacturer on your PC. Hopefully, its in a format that can be converted to boot media appropriate to your PC. After booting from that media, have it check out your hard drive. Some form of recovery media should have come with your PC. It may be in form of boot CD, or, onboard hidden recovery partition accessed via bios selection or boot media, or, some other method. Recovery media will wipe everything, and make the PC as when new. With the exception of some late PCs, all your data files, desktop settings, internet settings, and so forth will be gone as there is no repair option using recovery media.
