When I switched my PC on yesterday I got an error - I can't remember the exact error - after I few tries I decided to reinstalling Windows 7, the disk was showing as unallocated space & I tried installing but got some other kind of error (maybe I/O)
After some Googling on my phone I got a command prompt off the install CD & tried:
diskpart
select disk
clean all
This threw an I/O error. I subsequently tried just clean which executed ok but it still wouldn't let me reinstall the OS. After this I booted into an Ubuntu live CD to try formatting it there but sudo fdisk -l but this wouldn't even display the disk?
Is there anything else I can try here or am I wasting my time?
