Western Digital Caviar SE WD3000JB 300GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive
There are two older drives
It is my husbands machine and I am not sure exactly how it came to the current state
The bios reads the drive
when booting it states “one of the disks needs to be checked for consistency”
chkdsk verifies stage 1
in stage 2 the message reads “correcting error in index $ 0 for file 25”
Windows opens but the tray hangs and the hour glass continually runs
Tried to repair the os installation from the installation disk it hangs at 25 %
in checking drive c
