IamBidyuT Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The above issue is continuously appearing on my friends desktop from last month, sometimes desktop getting automatically shutdown . Hence, last night re-partitioned HDD & installed Win10 . The error did not stop . . . Later applied following commands : ChkDsk /F /R sfc /scannow They detected no error . . . So, anyone have solution for this except suggesting for new HDD (since certainly that'd be the last choice if no solution arises) . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastus_BoJangles_Johnson Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi @IamBidyuT sorry you have problem. Please try HDD Regenerator. You can search about it here on this forums. Read about it and If cant find a good download link I can post it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycat19 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 It is obvious that Windows has detected some type error in its disk monitoring software and since no error was detected with the scans then it is possible that the problems lies with the cable or the connection on the motherboard. I would try a new cable and if the error still appears I would try a different connection on the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded & installed , while starting the process it warned about "C" drive being used , hence had to make portable flash drive through it . . Choose 3rd option : Normal scan with repair - - Scan & repair - - - Scan complete - - system reboot - - same error appeared (may be i had to do something extra) .

fredlaso Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 You can try SpinRite. When it comes to maintaining a hard drive, running a disk check will usually find any software related issues. But when I need to check the hardware inside of a hard drive, I will use SpinRite from Gibson Research Corporation. SpinRite is a magnetic storage data recovery, repair and maintenance program and works only on HDD's (Hard Disk Drive) and not SSD's (Solid State Drive). SpinRite includes a feature called DynaStat that can reassemble missing data from bad sectors. SpinRite is a self-contained program that runs on top of a version of FreeDOS (Free Disk Operating System). SpinRite has five (5) levels of operation, each building on the previous level. Examine the hard drive surface. This level will read every sector of the selected partition(s) psychical surface looking for areas that appear to be healthily but could possibly fail in the future. Recover unreadable data on drive. This level will read every sector of the selected partition(s) psychical surface looking for unreadable data. Spinrite will then attempt to recover unreadable partition data using the built-in advanced recovery technology. Refresh the hard drive surface. This level will read and write every sector of the selected partition(s) psychical surface, essentially exercising the hard drive. It basically test and verifies every sector on the partition(s). Locates surface defects. This level will read, write and invert every sector twice of the selected partition(s) psychical surface. This tests and verifies that every 'bit' on the selected partition can be successfully written to and retrieved. Restore known good sectors. This level does everything that all of the other levels do and restores any areas that may have been previously mark as defective, but now are found to be reliable. To run SpinRite you will need to create a bootable media, either a CD or USB drive. Normally, if your computer is running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, all you have to do is insert the bootable media and restart your computer. If your computer doesn't boot up to the SpinRite media, you may have to change the boot order in the system BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). If your computer has Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, more than likely your computer has UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) enabled BIOS. To run Spinrite on one of these systems, you defiantly have to go into the BIOS and turn off the UEFI boot functions temporality. Now, if in either scenario SpinRite doesn't recognized your hard drive, you may have to also change the drive mode in the BIOS from AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) to ATA (AT Attachment) temporarily.

WALLONN7 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Probably S.M.A.R.T. error... Download Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools, install and run it... Problem found?!... Verify its warranty and contact Western Digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Probably there is no error possible to find, but only the Windows is damaged. And one more thing - it is interesting, that you are looking for a hard disk error, when you see the error message that the driver probably doesn't work correctly.

There another software test you could run on the drive with Eassos Partition Guru (trial version will work) and that is to run the 'Verify or Repair Bad Sectors'. If none of this works then you can just turn off the hard disk warning. To do so: Step 1 Get Run window from Start menu and type in gpedit.msc run gpedit Step 2 Click "Ok" or hit Enter key and you'll get a new window where you can find Disk Diagnostics: Administrative Templates > System > Troubleshooting and Diagnostics > Disk Diagnostics Step 3 Click "Disc Diagnostic: Configure execution level" on the right part and a configuration menu will pop up. Modify the execution level to Disable and click "Apply" and "OK". Then restart computer the error message won't popup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the popup disable GPEDIT method , but i'm afraid since it just hides the error , not erasing the error . . . . I'll check Partition Guru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No operating system or software is loaded because the best way to check a drive is when nothing is running from it. If your bios does not have the built in diagnostic then the best way to check the drive is to use a bootable disk/flash drive to run the chkdsk utility or any other disk checking utility from.

RdH Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 maybe you should consider to backup your data (worst case) I already lost my data and replace my hdd because I don't care about this message (this message already show more than 2 month) my hdd is getting weird, transfer speed suddenly drop to 3MB/s (even booting linux via usb stick) I hope your friend doesn't get the problem like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davmil Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Why not assume Windows's right? Get this thing backed-up immediately. Ideally, make an disk image with Acronis (or similar) (2 images would be better), pull the partitions, then restore the image. Personally, given what drives cost these days, I'd make that disk image and restore it to a new drive if you can afford it. The $50 is going to seem cheap if the drive fails and/or you lose important data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.D Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 What about a Trojan or Virus - check MBAM If not that ^ and you have checked the other points in this thread, Swap/Replace HDD and re-Image (I found similar problem, was the SATA Data cable but replaced both SATA and power cable - that fixed it .)
