well after doing a couple more reboots it finally craped out on me.. I cant even get into anything.. I did an e-daignostic, said I have a bad hard drive. So im going to order a new one.. Yes I hate Windows also, I tried messing with Linux a wile back..when It was still new. kinda afraid to try it again. Thanks for everyones help!!

 

When you get your new HDD put the old one in also and see if you can salvage anything...

 

ok.. hear's the deal. not only is my hard drive fucked.. but my disk drive is also. I have a HP pavilion.. and its no longer under warentee.



Does anyone know of a good place I can send it and have it fixed? I'm still hopeing to save the data on my HD but not expecting to much.

 

There are a few companys that can get 99% od that data off your disks they are very exp thou. They do data reco for the gov and what not. And i say just buy a new drive and a new disk drive too. www.pricewatch.com that's a dealer site it lets you see the cheapest **** out there saves me tons when i build a new comp. If you need any help with either of the installs just post i'll see what i can do. good luck.

 

ok.. if I buy a new Hard drive and disk drive.. how can I tell wich ones will work on my laptop?? i've looked in the past on several sites and was unable to find drives for my model laptop..



Thanks again for your help.. I feel lost without my ****.. I mean car pics

 

Oh i didnt know this was a laptop that went. Hum that coudl be tricky if you send me the make and model numbers i can see what i can find i'm sure i can come up with a drive. Even if you have to go to the manufactor of the drive you allready have. I can call some people from cali and see what they can come up with as well. As for putting it in it shoudl just slide right into place. I know a ton about desktops but i'm lost in the world of laptops at least hardware wise. Well let me know what i can do.

 

I have a HP Pavilion zt1150.. I'm going to try and use my buddys external Disk drive to see if I can fix my OS, but I dont know if it will work or not. My disk drive is a Sony model num CRX800. And my Hard drive is a Hitatchi model num DK23CA-20 Its a 20G HD.. I'd like to get a 40G if I could. If any one knows where I can get replacement parts let me know!! Thanks in advance.
