Last week we had a power spike, my pc would turn on but not boot, even into the bios, thankfully i have another pc which i transfered the hard drive to but when i got past POST it told me the hard drive status was bad, backup & replace, press F1 to resume.
It would boot up then & i did a repair to the OS but every time i turn it on the status bad message keeps showing. I have used norton ghost to clone the drive to a known good HDD but on setting the clone drive as a master & trying to boot i get a message along the lines of “replace disk with a know good one or insert a boot media disk”.
Is there any way that i can get round that last message so i can boot from the clone disk or do i have to bite the bullet & start from scratch to rebuild from new?
Any advice is appreciated, many thanks
