Windows 10: Slow, unmountable HDD result of dead battery during chkdsk

So I was on my laptop trying to resize my OS partition with a 3rd party tool, and my battery died in the middle of it. I powered back on the next day to find that my OS was broken, so I reinstalled and ran chkdsk. I had another dead battery in the middle of that and now have "UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME" BSOD when I boot to it. I have replaced the hard drive, so it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to have that drive back to use in another laptop I have. It is also very slow when I use recovery media, sticking on every transition through steps. Is there a way I can repair this drive?

:)

 

PC freezes after startup, nearly impossible to use windows recovery options

Bumping the post and providing more information:

I tried using the command prompt in the recovery settings to attempt to check the hdd for problems, but when trying to use chkdsk it responded

"The type if the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."

I don't know if that has anything to do with my hdd which has windows on it, and as stated before i cannot login to my computer. Is my drive completely dead or is there a way to fix it?

 

BSOD while playing game

The CPU is OK. Run CHKDSK with /R parameter on each partition and see if windows is able to correct the bad sector. (The command is chkdsk X: /r replacing X with Each HDD). Get the result of CHKDSK using Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log - Windows 7 Help Forums
-Same for 10. and post back the results.

 

Best way is delete all partitions on the drive then create a new one and format

 

Agreed. I connect all computers to my battery backup/UPS when doing such work for my clients, even though a Notebook/Laptop/Tablet has a battery that, unless brand new, the condition of it is an unknown. Best to prevent as many issues before they happen. Looks to me like your battery is not giving the same endurance as when new. A battery generally has only a 1-year warranty. Being connected to AC power is good but power failures do happen.

 

So if I use a USB dock/caddy to power and read it through USB and reformat it, that would work?

 

yes it will work via usb
