My hard drive has been acting up lately (a hitachi 60 GB ATA 4200 rpm) in a Dell Laptop, I can't boot past the loading screen - I 've already done 3 windows repair reinstallations, and the third time was done 20 min ago from typing this thread...
I've found a component tester (pressing Fn button when booting), and when the Short DST test comes up, it says fail......what does that mean?
Is there any way I can fix this drive by myself...some utlity maybe...chdsk...?
Please help me!!!
laptop specs:
Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, Geforce go5200.
