Hey guys, my harddrive has failed for the 2nd time in 3 months. The first time I managed to recover and continue using it by running a chkdsk. Now it is the 2nd time, I am running the disk check and hope that it works. I know that it is a hard drive issue because windows has told me so, but for some reason I can still boot windows 7 perfectly fine in normal mode (although all the programs that I launch stop responding). Because I can launch windows, would it be possible to just insert another hard drive and use that for general storage?
Any and all help regarding the regaining of functionality of my computer is appreciated!
Also, I would not mind losing all of my files as they are unimportant.
Just to clarify: The ideal answer would allow me to use my computer while the new drive is on it's way.
~Thanks in Advance
