Last night my pc was fine, until I booted it up this morning, after the windows logo it brings me to chkdsk (drive C, system partition), ran it and it took hours to complete, there are so much unreadable file error, minor name or what it is, after it finished my pc reboots itself, back into the freaking chkdsk, tried skipping it, screen went black and reboot, and then chkdsk would show up again, tried startup repair, doesn't work, it says bad hard disk or something, tried to run chkdsk C: /r, finished in a moment with "unable to save log 50" or something like that, also, I have another harddrive that I took from my old laptop, it has W7 installed, tried to boot to it but getting stuck in startup repair "Attempting Repair", is my disk dying? can I recover my data? please, any help would be appreciated):
forgive my messed up english, also I've been searching this forum for "Bad disk", none of them are the same to me

Sounds like a bad drive. Can you boot into safe mode? Do you have any recovery media!

I don't have any, sadly, also I connected my secondary harddrive to my computer last night before I used it, works fine both drive show up, yeah, bad drive, is it possible to fix this? I don't mind if I lose some space by isolating the badsectors

Hi I'm sorry but I don't know where you're at. I think you are saying that you can't boot into safe mode. I don't understand your post #5.
It has been my experience that once chkdsk finds bad sectors, the drive is probably getting ready to fail. I wouldn't thrust it.
I'm not sure why you can't get into safe mode.
Maybe @kemical or others will have better suggestions latter!

I don't have recovery media, but I could make a bootable w7 iso usb on my friend computer.
I have 2 harddrive as I mentioned in the first post, the main one, suspected with badsectors and the other one (I took it from my unused laptop) and I usually use it on my pc to get extra space, both are installed with w7, I noticed something strange when I do chkdsk from cmd in startup repair, the system drive letter is D, while actually, its C, is it normal? bootsec.exe /scanos returns with 0 windows installation, gonna try to reinstall my windows tonight, thanks for the reply

Apparently my harddisk is fine, diskpart says all of my partition is healthy, but bootrec didn't detect any installed windows, also there's a new mysterious partition called System Reserved or something, its just 100mb, I think my windows is corrupted? I am still looking for my usb, or maybe the installation disk:|

Hi ! Please post make and model. I gave you a link to W7 ISO file post #9.
If you need to install or reinstall Windows 7 you can use this page to download a disc image (ISO file) to create your own installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD.

All the partition contains is system files and is normal.there's a new mysterious partition called System Reserved
Try updating your chipset drivers and storage drivers. If your unsure where to find them look on the motherboards support page for drivers for Windows 7 and they should be there.
