Well i think my hard drive just died

[Tayasaurus]

I'm not surprised i guess, i've had the thing since 08 and its gone through several reformats and wipes. It can't progress past the windows 7 logo and startup repair does "repairs" but its been repairing since 6:00 this morning.

What do you guys think? Is it possible its not a hard drive failiure...? And if i need to replace it should i just go with a straight SSD or a combo?

(RIP taya's research)

But i added so much newstuff to it that i'd HAVE to add it all again D:

get a hard drive copier kit and see if you can access the drive when you hook it up to another computer. i'm pretty sure you can get a kit that hooks up through USB, we have one that i use that works like that.

even if it doesn't work it's a super handy thing to have.

try this though, at least you'll be able to recover some stuff maybe

this is the kit i have
it's obv old and limited in speed, but it's not too pricey and i've never had any issues using it. it was a lifesaver when i was setting up my new computer.

Guess I'm that lucky to have machines live forever on me.
