INITIALIZING YOUR HARD DRIVE

Here I am again,
Unable to place an order, I installed XP on it, blue screen, then I tried again with a repair, and during the fixmbr.
I got the response "one or more unrecoverable errors on the disk."
A simple answer that’s hard to understand, yes, but hard to believe when all the software through SMART indicates a HARD DRIVE in excellent condition.

Is it really a Vista command?

Ok, I will try both options above first, CCleaner and in cmd.
Can I use the free version of CCleaner?

I think it comes from the MBR because in disk management.
I’m told in the "partition type" column that the status of the concerned disk is "not applicable" while the other one shows MBR.

there’s the simple solution of launching a Windows XP or Seven installation on it and interrupting it shortly after the file copy begins

I’m looking into the MBR, I’ve seen that before

Yes, recovery, you know people throw away or give away things :)
Here in this case, it's a donation.
If I understood the problem correctly, from what I could skim through, it seems to be an issue with the MBR. I'm tempted to try initializing in GPT (if we can say that) but I'm afraid of making an irreversible mistake not knowing exactly what it's about.
Anyway, I don't know if it can be considered as H.S.
All the SMART readings I did with various utilities from the manufacturer and others tell me that the HDD is in excellent condition.
Unless that doesn't matter, maybe someone can tell me how to erase and rewrite the MBR, or if my reasoning is correct and I'm not off on some stupid idea.

Thank you for your attention.

Solution 1 :

Launch the CCleaner software.
In the "Cleaner" section, "Windows" tab, check everything except: "AutoComplete history", "Menu layout cache", "Window size/position cache", "Folder customization", and "Wipe free space".
Start the cleaning process.
In "Registry", search for errors: once the scan is complete, repair them (without saving).

Solution 2:

Click Start: type "cmd" in the Search box, right-click on cmd.exe in the programs list and then click on Run as administrator.
From the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: CHKDSK /R X: (X represents the drive letter of the volume to check).
Press Y when prompted to check the disk on the next system reboot.
Close all applications and restart the computer.
After the computer restarts, repeat steps 1 to 4 for the other volume.

"I've recovered"

What does it mean? New used?

He looks dead :s

After that, I tried right-clicking on the square next to the graphic representation of the disk, on the option to initialize the disk, and the operation stops to tell me (as mentioned above) "cannot perform the request due to an I/O device error."

Thank you for your help
But it says that the operation cannot proceed because the disk is not initialized.

try this =)

Using Disk Management
To start Disk Management:

"Log on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group.
Click Start, then Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, then Administrative Tools, and double-click Computer Management.

To customize the display of your disks and volumes in the upper and lower panes of the window, point to Top or Bottom in the View menu, then click on the display to use. "

Procedure to format a basic volume
To format a partition, a logical drive, or a basic volume:

"In the Disk Management window, right-click on the partition or logical drive to format (or reformat), and then click Format.
In the Format dialog box, type a name for the volume in the Volume label box. Note that this is an optional step.
Click on the file system to use in the File system box. If desired, you can also change the allocation unit size on the disk, indicate whether you want to perform a quick format, or enable file and folder compression on NTFS volumes.
Click OK.
Click OK when prompted to format the volume. The formatting process will begin. "
