i cant tell you how many times ive accidently formatted the wrong drive and had to spend a good 5 hours recoverying all the damn files. To install on a new HDD, UNPLUG your current drive. This will run a checek on all system files and replace as needed. open a admin command prompt and enter : sfc /scannow press enter. On to the OS, i gather you are running XP, burn a XP SP2 ISO and stick it in your drive. if the drive is good and mhdd lists all grey sectors (2-5 greens isnt bad, reds need to be repaired.) then the drive is ok to work with assuming it passes all other tests. run mechainical stresst tetsts and long smart tests to ensure the drive is bad. contrary to alot of tech shops a dead sector or two or 30 does not difinitivly indicate a failing drive. This will also remap a bad sector, ALL HDD's have bad sectors and spares to map to. one program i use ALOT for HDD's is MHDD, it will scan all your sectors and give you read times. PC check or pc doctor have tools to do this, there are freeware programs out there. sounds like you have your work cut out.įirst, make sure all viri are gone, i recomend ubcd4win to boot from and scan the system to do this. first off short of hardware failure if you have the time.
