We have a PC which restarted on Friday then wouldn't boot into windows and said something along the lines of "disk read error" , after turning PC off and disconnecting / reconnecting the drive I managed to get into windows
The drive is a 150GB WD Raptor - downloaded the WD diagnostics utility which found no errors and did a full scan using HDtune, and also no errors
Event log shows a fair few of these errors :
So to me looks like there is definetely an issue with the HD - is there any other diagnostics I can run?
What's the best software to use to make a complete image so I can restore fully on a new disk? As the drive is working at present and would prefer not having to install everything again!
