Fdisk/partition magic help

[josh684]

Hello, Need a little help. Heres the story: I am rebooting my computer and having some problems after a crash. I can to install windows xp and in the windows xp cd boot I could form my partition but it would not format. So I decided to run fdisk, in there I could not even partition. I would get to Verfyiing Drive Intregity and it would go to a certain % and then go back to zero. So then I use Partition Magic rescue disk and it lets me form partitions and and format. I ran and it said no errors. Then i go back to install windows xp and it tells me cannot create folder c:/Windows. Any help? Is the harddrive done?
Thanks Josh

Ok, I ran IBM/Hitachi DFT. It tells me, Problem detected on an non Hitachi disk drive, Contact supplier. Disposition Code=0x70.
I am now trying to run Maxtor, for some reason it take forever to load the disk. It stays at my gateway screen forever. In the advanced test I passed first 4 test and failed the SMART test. Code: 40004f000. Anyhelp? Is the drive done?
Thanks

The disk is likely bad. You need to run the tools that match the manufacturer.

[EvilRick]

Yes, use the one that matches your disk.

I would say the drive is probably done though. If it's not under warranty, just think about getting a new one.

Disk is made by Fijustui or something. Does anyone know if they have somekind of tool I can use?
Thanks

[EvilRick]

Yep, they ain't got a cool name like the others though. It's just Diagnostic Tool

Lamos.

I seem to be having more problems now. For some reason or another I can not get any floppydisk to load on the computer anymore. would this be because of the harddrive or are they not related? I created a Windows XP boot disk from my other computer and cannot get that to load. My EZ OS Install disk no longer will load either. ANy help?
Thanks

So now my bios tells me Failure Fixed disk 0 which is my Fujitsu(This only happened once). I also can not load any floppydisk, not sure why. Would this be because of my hardrive?

[EvilRick]

I would say "Yes".
