Do you have access to another system and do you know the manufacture of your harddrive?

Okay, this is what we want you to do. On another system, go to Seagate's website and download their free harddrive utility called Seatools. When it is downloaded place a blank CD in the CD/DVD drive, double click the utility icon and burn Seatools to the CD.

Now, you'll need to be able to access the BIOS to set your CD drive in your system to First Bootable in order to run Seatools. If you don't know how to do this find someone who can. Once this is done, place the CD in the drive and rebbot. Almost immediately after reboot Seatools will engage. Run the following tests: S.M.A.R.T., Short Diagnostic Self Test (DST) and especially the Long DST.

* Get back to us with the results.

Did you put your CD drive as First Bootable in the BIOS or is your system to the point where it doen't even power on?

 

[bubali]

Can you explain me how to do that?

 

[Route44]

Do you know how to enter the BIOS?

 

[bubali]

Nope but can you explain me how?

Give us the make and model of the system and since your harddrive is a Samsung go to their website and see if they have a utility that you can burn to a CD and try that first.
