Last week, when i turn my computer on i got the following error.
File: Boot\Bcd
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occured.
No matter what i do i cannot get into windows.
When i try to boot to from my vista CD to reinstall new windows, I manage to get through the 1st part, but when my com restart to finish reinstalling, i cant get it to work.
Yesterday, I bought a new 1gb HDD and install Windows vista on it. It work fine and i manage to recover all data from both of my old HDDs.
When i use GSmartcontrol to check my old HDDs (500gb Hitachi Drive with OS on it... and 2TB Western digital Cavia Green)
500gb Hitachi drive (with lifetime hours of 15545) --> I fail both Short and Extended offline test
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 15545 558482
# 2 Short offline Completed: read failure 90% 15545 558482
# 3 Short offline Completed: read failure 90% 15545 558482
for my 500gb... the result pretty similar for my 2Tb as well *lba of 1st error is always the same*
2Tb -- (with lifetime hours of 6000)--> pass short test but fail extended offline test. (this one also fail Data Life Guard Dianostic Extended test --> The result say that there is too many bad sectors)
Is my HDD dying?
Will something like Zero-fill or format save my old HDD?
If i do zero-fill, then test for bad sector again and pass.. do i have to worry that it might spontaneously fail again?
Please help me.
Thank you for your response
