trying to run AIO on a known corrupt HDD

<< < (3/3)

Boggin:
Good - hopefully that will sufficiently repair any corruption.

I don't think it will boot in your machine as the licence is tied to your friend's computer, plus there will be a difference in the drivers to the hardware you have in yours.

Dave009:
Yes Thanks Boggin, it makes sense that loading it in here [main business reliable computer] might be a cluster bomb of eff's
I'll go check the chkdsk

kk159:
I would back up the data before running chkdsk

/r checks for bad sectors and it's a lot of read actions, much slower than /f.  If the hdd is about to fail, a chkdsk /r may fail the hdd

Check your hdd SMART data and see if there is anything funny

When running chkdsk on an external device, use diskpart to obtain the correct drive letter

If your hdd is Seagate, I would suggest using SeaTools

Dave009:
Very Good Tips kk159 thank you!
