  1. getting a hdd working


    Hi, my hdd got corrupted after a pc reset, it will not boot, so i tried to do a custom install from a iso cd but i cant as the hdd is mbr & the iso will only install to gpt. I bought another hdd to get me working again & works fine. I then installed the corrupt hdd as a secondary drive & recovered some of my files but not sure if all of them & then converted it using mbr2gpt which seemed to be sucessful but i cannot use this as a secondary drive nowpresumably as the primary drive is mbr & the secondary gpt & wont work together so the comp wont boot with both drives

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
