I did a system recovery on an old 2011 HP dv7 laptop. At first everything was fine, but now every time I try to log on, I get BSOD when I get to the Windows logo. The picture I took of the BSOD is here: https://imgur.com/scft1iq

Currently, neither booting in safe mode works nor system recovery in BIOS doesn't work. Booting in safe mode will just go to this BSOD, and system recovery says cannot detect disk... I also tried reinstalling windows with an USB with ISO, but it doesn't detect the HDD for me to install to.

Does this mean my HDD is dead? My laptop was very very slow previously, which is why I did a system recovery to factory default.

Also, I started getting the BSOD when I was thinking of dual booting linux after initially successfully doing the system recovery. I only did some partitioning stuff in the Linux Mint installer but didn't proceed further when I got errors somewhere along the lines of the partition being busy. This was when I tried to go back to Windows 7 and started getting these BSOD.

I also had the very same error message. I did my won diagnostic, starting from cleaning up the hardware for any dust or dust stain on anything that has copper connector on it (for example RAM sticks and GPU's PCIe copper connector).

Then if the problem persist, I reset CMOS settings by unplug and replug motherboard's battery. At this point the PC should work and windows will report something on desktop then I go restart and do full disk checking on all partition via Safe Mode or Repair Mode.
You can access this mode via bashing F8 after BIOS POST.

Edit: to make sure your HDD is still reliable, meaning no bad sector, you can do thorough checking by using 3rd party software. I did this too on other PC with the problematic disk as...

If your disk actually damaged then no other way around it other than new replacement.
