Okay. It's possible the hd has unrecoverable errors. Below are a couple of links with info from MS on that particular error code. Meanwhile, I know you don't want to hear this but you might want to run chkdsk /r from within the recovery console one more time --- though truth be told, it may not help at this point.

SeaTools for DOS seagate hdd's just told me that the hdd failed important diagnostic test and that I should run long test. So, I'll run the long test and see what happens then. Thanks for your help btw.You're welcome. Sorry the diagnosis isn't better.After running long test via SeaTools for DOS it recommended I use it's utility for repairing the HDD. I let that tool run and it said Long Test Passed after repair. I am in the process of running the long test again just to be sure. I'll update again after it finishes. Just wanted to let you guys know things are seeming to be moving along a little bit now.

Edit: it's already found 19 more errors. So maybe a new HDD is in need after all.Good news. Please do keep us posted.

I was in Windows for a bit earlier it just worked out of the blue, but there didn't seem to be any critical data at all. Just a few installed programs like AVG and Skype. If I can get back in I'll double check again and thanks for the heads up.Can't get into windows although I can via safe mode. No matter how many times I scan and repair it always finds more errors. It's a never ENDING loop and this leads me to believe that the HDD is gone. If anyone can confirm this I'll pass it along and hopefully get a new DRIVE in this thing for her.Slave Drive Tutorial...

I can't slave the hard drive as it's a laptop IDE drive and I have nothing I can hook that up to. I'm in a linux live CD right now trying to salvage some itunes music but mostly I'm just getting input/output errors. I guess if I can find a jumper as I know this HDD doesn't have one I could change it to slave and go back into the live cd, or would that even matter given the circumstances with the live cd?

Laptop to IDE connector....about 7 Bucks at any PC store
