    Based on what I'm reading, I agree with everyone else. Sounds like the drive is going to need more work than it's worth to repair (it's definitely not "shot" though). Just most likely cheaper to replace than repair at this stage. I will recommend though that unless you're bound by a warranty or something, don't use Best Buy or any other major retailer's repair services. You'll more often get a cheaper repair, by more qualified people, with much faster turnaround if you seek out a local repair shop.

  • Hard drive seems shot. You could try a system restore, however if that doesn't work, buy a new one and install windows. Good as new

    • You corrupted the hdd when you switched it off. You can try booting into dos, formatting and re initialising. If that doesn't work you're gonna need a new hdd.

      • Sounds like your hard drive has failed, get a new one for like $50, and install windows and you'll be set again.

      • I had a similar problem with the "C drive repairing" on my laptop. Went to my computer savy dad and I ended up getting grounded because that means the drive has been physically damaged and he knew I had the laptop on my bed and it [i]occasionally[/i] fell off. Had to get a new computer.

        • If this was a PC you could probably just replace the hard drive and the cable that goes to it. Not too expensive. But it's a laptop, honestly, I'd try a different hard drive or taking to a repair person, because it might be FUBAR.

          • might have corrupted the drive's OS partition, requiring an advanced level linux technician to fix. linux can see into the windows kernel and alter it but not vice versa. if you can't use a CD to do a fresh install, you need data recovery help if you had anything important on there...

              You could literally try opening and unplugging the drive and replugging it back in. Also can you enter the bios/uefi?
