My laptop won't boot past the Windows error recovery page, it just keeps cycling. I have already tried running Windows 7 repair disk, and it was not able to fix an issues. What would be my next step?
- I also get the error "internal hard disk drive not found" "no bootable devices" on startup
- I have taken out the hard drive and am testing it in another computer. Whats a good program to test if the hard drive is failing?
- The computer is a Dell Inspiron 1750
ok thanks for the tip I am running a disk check on the hardrive right now, you are probably right. – Anders – 2011-10-17T20:35:56.450
Thanks for the accept! Let me know with a comment is you have any questions or problems. I will probably be on for another 20 minutes. If the drive is bad, normally the test will fail nearly immediately (depending on which program you are using). – David – 2011-10-17T20:38:26.257
good to know, it hasn't failed yet, but replacing the drive probably is still my only option. – Anders – 2011-10-17T21:05:10.167
