Question : How do I repair a damaged hard drive?
So my hard drive on my hp laptop is having a problem. The computer always crashes when defragmenting the hard disk, or using the startup chkdsk “check disk” to repair bad sectors.

From the hard drive diagnosis it says that the results are Fail #1-07. I was wondering if anyone would help me fix it or is there any kind of service that I can use to repair this hard drive.

Hi Tony F,

You can’t repair a failed hard drive. Its more with it overall to just purchase a new one. You can back up all of your files with an IDE/SATA to USB adapter like this one:

You just access the hard drive for the files and nothing else. If this doesn’t work then its past saving.

Good luck and I hope I helped!
