Hi, I recently got a HDD problem. I am on Windows Vista. Some days ago the electricity was cut off for a second and since then I noticed the startup of my PC has been rather slow sometime.
This is the message I get
My PC came with a recovery drive, (E but it's only a partition of the C: drive. In the message it says both disks are failing. My E: drive is not accessable and for some reason it cannot be formatted. I am able to access my files on the C: drive.
What are the recommended steps for this dreadful situation? I am gonna backup al the stuff in my C: drive. Should I merge E: into C: with a partition software? Do I need to get a new HDD? And if so, how do I put Windows on it? Are there HDD's with Windows already setup, just plug n play?
