Run Bad Sector Checker from Boot Drive

HP Pavilion 27 - d1023na

Absolute nightmare - tried everything

Keeps coming up with various error messages and won't boot and crashes

Reinstalled Win 10 multiple times only to fail

Just out of warranty

Have run chkdsk /r /f from recovery Environment - no issue, but is there a utility that will scan each sector after booting from a boot disk - bit like HD Tune ?

Just to rule out SSD issues

Also, is there a disassembly video for this All in One - seems a sealed unit

What drive did you run on in the Recovery Environment ?

Do the following only if you can't boot Windows to run the software recommended by Pkshadow.

Tap F2 at boot and select system diagnostics. Under System Tests run the Quick test and if that passes run the Extensive test.

BTW, just as an aside, you do not need to run the /f switch. Chkdsk /r is all you need (the /r switch assumes the /f switch).

Sorry chaps

All replies went to Spam....

Just seen them

It was running initially Win 10 then 11

Subsequently after trying loads of things, I finally took it to pieces and removed CMOS

Left it a few hours

Started up and EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL

Jeez - how come the BIOS can mess things up - even after I loaded default settings multiple times ?

Cheers all

Run Seagate SeaTools

SeaTools Bootable provides a basic suite of diagnostic utilities in an environment independent of your installed operating system. This will allow you to test, diagnose, and possibly repair your hard drive, even if your operating system environment is inaccessible.

Please download and use the SeaTools Bootable to create a bootable USB that you can use to diagnose hard drives and monitor SSDs.

The flash drive must be at least 256 MBs but no larger than 32 GBs.

Use SeaBoot_11-18-2019_RC5.usbBootMaker.exe to create bootable USB.


1. Insert the SeaTools USB device and reboot or power on your computer.

2. After SeaTools loads, the Drive List will show different storage devices in your system. Select the drives you would like to test.

3.  The menus provide an array of diagnostic tests. Select the test you would like to perform on the selected drives.  Please click on Long Generic Test. Long Generic Test scans the entire drive for defects. It will take a long time to complete. Because this test reads every sector on the drive, the amount of time required will depend on the speed and capacity of the disk drive. The highest capacity drives often take 3 to 5 hours per terabyte to complete. At any time, feel free to Cancel the test without harming the drive. Long Test is completely data safe.

4.  The test will indicate either Pass or Fail.  Upon completion of running the diagnostics, the test results will be given. A log for each device is automatically saved if you have booted from a USB device. Test results are automatically saved in a log file with a file name based on the drive serial number. Post the results of the scan in your topic.

 

even after I loaded default settings multiple times

If default are Optimized then it is a form of Overclocking.

Suggest since did not supply any requested information and we have no idea what you are running.

Turn off in BIOS anything that speeds up the Boot for the same reasons as below :
