So I'm sick of using my iPhone to browse the Internet, about 2 months ago my computer shat itself and I haven't bothered to fix it, but it's getting a bit old.

Every time I start it, it tells me there was a hard disk error and to restart. I am basically computer illiterate, so I've got no idea how to fix it other than putting a new hard drive in it.

I don't want a new hard drive and I also want to keep the stuff that's on the current one.

Anyone got any idea? I'd appreciate it if you did!

Thanks in advance.

Tap F8 on boot up until you get to a screen that gives you a variety of options.

The first option should be "Repair Your Computer"

Give that a try

if it doesn't work, get back to that screen and select "Safe Mode with Command Prompt"

Type in "chkdsk /f C:" (or whatever the problem drive is if it isn't your C drive) to run Check Disk to fix the error.

Sorry to say mate but i would be taking advice of what the guys have been writing above. +1 to them all.

If it doesnt repair like "Iamhe" has written, then you will have to get yourself a new one and once up and running place your old one as a secondary, if you are lucky enough that it picks it up then copy your info accross and ditch it.

Hmm actually just read again your using a laptop, take the advice of "sofreshsoclean"

If you do end up having to recover the lost data try Mini power tool data recovery 6.5 for free or Disk Internals (have to pay but should be much quicker). It takes an awful long time with Mini power tool data recovery (about a week non stop for more than 1TB) so be prepared before starting it. Although that obviously depends on the error/s and a bunch of other factors.

MacBook Pro Retina 1/10 for repairability. :cheers:

But no Mac has ever failed in any way shape or form... at all... EVER.

So who cares about repairability....

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
