New Hard Drive Fix Errors?

Adampaulso · Jan 22, 2017

So my hard drive is basically screwed, I cannot run most of my games because each of them come up with different errors from: "0xc000007b" and "missing MSVCP100.dll" etc... Would getting a new hard drive get rid of this problem? Can I keep windows on my current drive and just install everything else on my new drive if I get one? Need an answer asap. Or would this do nothing but waste my time and money....

Have you tested your current hard drive for errors with any sort of diagnostic tool? What make/model is your HDD? With that info, you can get tools from the manufacturer's support site to test the drive.

If the problem is in fact the hard rive, you can't keep anything on it. It sounds like it's so corrupted at this point that you probably don't want to clone it either.

So it's time for a new hard drive and you'll have to reload Windows and all your application software.

If you're not sure it's the hard drive take it to a shop and have them diagnose it.

it is more likely that your installations are screwed, not your hard-drive. You need to reinstall stuff. Where'd you get the installation media from?

Get origin to check the installation, if that fails uninstall and reinstall.

As above, have you checked the disks for errors?

What is the make/model of your hard drive? We need that info to locate the correct utility.
