Solved: Laptop Hard Drive Failing maybe?

[EagleEye75]

I am using my pc to write this so cannot download the tsg sysinfo the now but can if it really needed just using the laptop as little as possible

I have my sisters laptop here she says she got an error message about backing her stuff up but she can't remember exactly what it said exactly but as of yet I have not seen this message.

I checked speccy and under the S.M.A.R.T status it reads warning so I guess it was a message regarding that.

I did download HDDScan but have no understanding of these things.

I can post a report from HDDScan or you can get me to use another program if its better I know you guys have your own set of programs you use.

Laptop is:

Compaq Presario CQ58
OS: Win 7x64

so any advice would be great

Do not attempt to download anything else if the report is correct re the smart status, using the drive more than necessary may well just result in complete failure


click the windows button and type in search
cmd


when it appears above as command prompt
right click and click run as admin


the cmd window should be headed
Administrator Command Prompt


type at the C:\ etc prompt


chkdsk /r


agree to run on restart and do so
watch the results
it is a five stage check and will tell you if bad sectors are recorded




If you can also post the report from HDDScan that would be great

Hd's dont repair themselves, and the SMART shows it failing. Back up any data you want, but I think its dead.

What's the complete model number of that CQ58 series laptop?
(A dash and additional characters after CQ58 comprises the complete model number)

Also advise what the exact part/product number(P/N) on it is.

where do i get all this information

 

[Macboatmaster]

run the chkdsk please

 

[flavallee]

where do i get all this information

It'll be on the labels on the bottom of the laptop case and/or inside the battery compartment.

----------------------------------------------------------

 

[EagleEye75]

run the chkdsk please

Running it the now

It'll be on the labels on the bottom of the laptop case and/or inside the battery compartment.

----------------------------------------------------------

ok must be inside battery compartment i look after scan

 

[EagleEye75]

how long should the chkdsk take it still at 11 percent on stage 4 of 5 is this normal it been running for nearly 1 and half hours

 

[valis]

Depends on the size of the HD; 3 or so hours isnt unheard of. Of course, chkdsk will obviously stress it, so it easily could just quit at any time.

Whats the size of the HD?

 

[EagleEye75]

I think the hdd is a 320gb with a useable space of 278gb would that be right and 211 or something left so used 60 odd so not that much from what i can remember.

 

[flavallee]

Hard Drives: C: Total - 283956 MB, Free - 220884 MB

It looks like it has a capacity of about 277 GB.

---------------------------------------------------------

 

[EagleEye75]

[EagleEye75]
