Ok,

So I have reformatted my hard drive for the second time in two months. I'll shut it down some night, then the next morning it will not boot. The error is something like partition goes beyond the physical or logical part of the drive. But I have no idea how this can be fixed. Anyone run into this before? I'd like to just repair it rather than wiping it. Any help appreciated.

I don't think you have a virus or anything, it seems more like a hardware problem. Your HD's days might be over. Yopu might need a new one, hopefully you backed up your data.

yea ad say yr hard drive is on its way out ther m8. how old is it? an i tend not to use partitions coz its just to much messing about. ad plug yr hard drive into a diff comp as a slave an get yr data off b4 it breaks completly

I think he said he formatted it twice, so I doubt he has any info on it.

ah good point, me an my amzing reading skills

I hear you man lmao.

dadi38, how long have you had that HD?
