So my sister just recently purchased a Toshiba NB305. A few days ago her husband did something physical to it (says he just barely hit the keyboard) and now upon bootup is getting a...

Windows has encountered a problem..blah blah... Error is caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as a USB drive while in use or by fault hardware such as a hard drive/cd-rom drive that is faling.

Status: 0xc00000e9

Info: an unexpected I/O error has occured.

I first tried to make sure everything was still connect firmly. Everything was. So I pulled the hard drive and placed it into another known working laptop. Same error at the exact same step.

Im assuming its the HDD. Not entirely sure if its the actual HDD or the data on it. They do not have a recovery disk so I've no way to try and rebuild right now. Due to the error that Im getting it sounds like its the actual HDD itself.

Anyone have any idea's? Running windows 7starter, Its a Toshiba NB305-N442BL.

Thanks


Update: After talking to him a bit more, when he slapped the keyboard, he said the netbook screen immediately went to black, netbook was still powered on though. He tried to reboot and thats when the error started.

Use Ultimate Boot CD to confirm whether or not the HDD is bad. But if your BIL "slapped" the keyboard, are you sure that the damage is limited to just the HDD?
