I was helping my friend who turned his laptop off while windows was installing updates and whatnot (win 7 64bit) and essentially became a brick for him, What happened there after was a continuous series of BSOD, Ive since reformatted the HDD (Can't remember The brand but might be seagate) and tried reinstalling windows 7 on to it, was Windows 8,
The problem is that I cannot see any damage thereafter on the HDD, its relatively new, 4 months,
Now I can get to different stages of the windows installation but I will have a BSOD stating hardware error, Now this is a strange one as it works perfectly fine within my Computer, File moves quick, Placing and retrival goes without a hitch no matter the size, and I cannot see a problem with the HDD itself, however whenever its a linked to the laptop, It will BSOD
Now I understand that it may be other hardware affecting this and the bios settings which considered Windows 7 a legacy OS (The crime of it!) but as far as I know for now, the laptop was working perfectly fine till my friend did that silly move.
As of now, I am unable to give you lot any more information, as he has gone to Spain. I was wondering if any of you could give some insight till I get the thing in my hands, when I do I'll be able to give out the information, I would just rather do this now and see the options at hand and get a pre emptive head set going on!
