Cannot log into windows, the Laptop POST's fine and windows start but the moment you try to log on to an account the screen either goes black with just the mouse cursor visable or i get BSOD (did not record error code but can if needed)
Just need to know if i require a new harddrive based on the following test results or is there a way of fixing said issue.
Laptop is a DELL DIMENSION running Windows Vista Basic and is around 4 years old. Warranty has expired and no insurance.
SATA Disk S/N = 5RF36CJ6 - Confidence Test = FAIL
SATA Disk S/N = 5RF36CJ6 - Device Quick Check = FAIL
SATA Disk S/N = 5RF36CJ6 - Read Test = FAIL
All come up with the following error message:
"Error Code 0F00:0232
Msg: DISK - Interrupt Request (IRQ) not sent in time"
