How do i find out?....I have a refurbished 30G Compaq Evo N610C..but I'm sure its the same hard drive

dai · 01-04-2007, 05:48 AM

iball · 01-04-2007, 05:49 AM

I'm in class at th emoment, so I'd have to do it later but.. If my laptop does say the hardrive in BIOS, say its Toshiba or soemthing..what do after that

you go to the makers web site download section and look for the iso version of the diognostic utility so you can put it on cd

iball · 01-04-2007, 06:09 AM

Ok, and by running it will it mess up any of the files i have on my computer?..or should i ask..i don't really get what it does....

it just checks the condition of the hard drive it will not interfere with your files but it will tell you if there is a problem with the hard drive

iball · 01-04-2007, 06:20 AM

if there is a problem, and it comes to the point where i HAVE to buy a new hard drive (hypothetically speaking), will the hard drive i posted a link to on page one work for my Evo?

Also, what do i do if there is no problem?

(sorry I know I'm asking to many dumb questions, but its for future reference and all)

no the one you listed is a31/2inch for a desktop

if you have run
chkdsk /r
you will have to find the problem via the bsod error messages

iball · 01-04-2007, 06:10 PM

Well...its taken a long time but i did the diagonstics. i did a quick test AND an advanced test and they both say that they passed the test and nothing was wrong...T-T what now..I can't even get to my desktop and if i can its only for maybe 5 minutes until a blue screen

Also, i went to recovery console on my OE disc and did the chkdsk stuff (/p and /r) and it says "The volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems" the second i type it in (0%).
