A Disk Read Error Occurred..
Last response: in Storage
Hi.
I was browsing online, and randomly the internet stopped working, then i got the Blue screen of death and pc restarted..
When it first ran after restart, it didn't detect the hard drive, and went to the boot from CD screen.
I turned it off, and came back about an hour later, and now it detects the hard drive but I get Disk read error.
I had win7 x64 installed, and the hard drive has been working fine for 5 years.
I'm going to try reinstalling windows soon, see if that fixes it, if not, what could be the problem?
I don't really care about the data on the HDD. Would be preferable to keep, but most of the important stuff is backed up.
How do i check to see if my HDD is broken? It's recognized in BIOS

An HDD error can be caused by the motherboard, RAM, or PSU as well. Even the CPU can be the culprit... but all of those are less likely than the HDD going bad. They don't last forever.

It is very likely the the HDD, so reinstalling windows is a wast of time. Try this: https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=6565
