I’m looking at a friends laptop at the moment. It crashed, won’t boot, freezes at boot up and he lost all his files. I hooked his HDD up to my pc using an ide adapter and recovered the files no problem. My question is this though, having complete access to his windows folder, is there anyway of repairing the drive by configuring the files within it? is there any software out there that might scan for the problem maybe.
Cheers

It’s definitely the drive
It’s definitely the drive because I tried it out in another machine
ok so I formatted the drive, popped it back in the laptop and went to boot from cd drive which is first in boot sequence and I’m getting the error "ntldr is missing" .What now?

If its the windows software that’ss crashed, just reformat and reinstall.
If the drive has physically crashed, don’t bother. Toss it.
if you got access to the files try formatting the drive and reinstall windows and all the drivers. It may not be a hard drive that bad on his laptop.
try formatting
