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
