Ok so, One of my low end PC's fell to the desk while running. Somehow, It survived. After a complete reboot of the system. I got an error:

A recent hardware failed and causing the system to not load

Well, I proceeded with the with Option: Start windows normally.
After the bootscreen. The system restarted itself.
Causing a bootloop.

I selected 'Repair your Computer'

It is slow as fuck.

i ran chkdsk. It found bad sectors. But i can't repair it due a I/O read failure

Then i brought it to my gaming pc. The same result.
And i think i lost all the data. When i use the same hard disk. It works perfectly.

Can you guys help me?

"When i use the same hard disk. It works perfectly."
This sentence is very confusing. Does the hard drive work or not?

If it doesn't, the shock from the fall has probably physically damaged it. Typically what happens after impact from a fall is that the read/write heads crash into the data platters. When that happens the drive is rendered useless with no way to rescue the data except by seding the drive to a data recovery specialist, and that's mega expensive.

You can try testing it with the drive manufacturer's diagnostic software too see if it is definitely damaged. The links are here: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287

I have the same drive, but its working perfectly. Ok now, back to the topic. I downloaded DLG (2011). But when i plug in my Hard Disk, it slows down the other hard disks.
I can't download a bootable version because its not available.
