Quotebefore taking your hdd to a new pc (unless they have exactly same hardware, which will avoid messing your windows) 




Do this first:




Because it could simply be a problem with the configuration of the hdd sata.




bios change the settings of the sata interface to "compatibility" mode, after reeboot the pc ,




and see if it show the message again.




watch this first




if it still comes with this error, then as orangpelupa said swap it in an other pc,  not as a boot one for a start




or test with another cable or slot


 




good luck

Will try all of the last posts later on tonight  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  Thanks to everyone who has posted!  :lol:

Quotehello, sorry i cant read all the post. so please be kind with me. 




From reading the 1st post, it seems the HDD is failing.


 




If the HDD still working (still able to go to windows)




- run SMART test and post the result here. you can try using whatever software, example is http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php SPEEDFAN (go to the SMART Tab)




post the SMART screenshot, and also i ask the "Perform in depth online analysis"


 




Basically, i suspect you HDD have STC or CRC or Wire error that way above threshold.


 


 




or just try unplug your SATA data and power cable from HDD. And use another pair.




If no problem, then your old pair cable is broken or not plugged securely.


 




sorry the bad english


 




EDIT:




i forgot one more important thing. Sometime its the PowerSupply thats failing. You can try it by unpluggin any other HDD, any ODD, use 1 stick of RAM, remove Dedicated GPU and use integrated GPU (if available). Or just borrow other friend PSU  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

It is a SATA HD




Windows 7 is on this HD yes.




It happens when I boot the PC and the error message re-appears every half hour or so.




Its windows 7 home edition.




Yes, I scanned it for bad sectors and its all green, nothing wrong.




It picks it up as 500GB (Correct) and NTFS  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

QuoteRe-install windows like me   :s illy:

I could but i want to try and avoid it, As backing up will take forever  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  but will still keep it in mind thx.

QuoteI had that problem with my old hard disk, and I needed to buy a new one...

And yes, I used CHKDSK /F but it didn't work to me   <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

I hope not, I have lots of stuff to back up and i don't want to do that lol

QuoteWell there can be that your pc has been infected and the virus is trying to render your hard drive useless another thing can be that some of your hard drive sectors failed at some point and if that's the case you will need to new hard drive as sectors can't be repaired. Thing I suggest now is backup really important files and download HDtune and do a error scan then show me the results. Lastly you can try doing System Restore to roll back to old restore point and see if the problem wasn't there at that time. In the future you could buy exact size hardrive and clone it so if something goes wrong with old hardrive you can just use the clone one for myself I have 3 1tb hard drives 2 are for storage and 1 is for cloning so if my hardrive was to fail I would not have to worry of loosing 800GB of data  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  and before anyone tells you to defrag you hard drive DO NOT DO IT if sectors failed defraging will render it useless.

 




Ok thanks for the tips, I have downloaded hdtune and I did a quick scan, all green. I'm currently doing a long scan. Thanks for the link. After, i will do virus scans  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

QuoteHave you tried to use CHKDSK ?

Yeah, thats what i meant by disk repair, sorry that wasn't clear

QuoteJohn' date=' no that's true but I could cut a model out of the scene.4ds (where the table model is stored, for example) if you need it.[/quote']

Yeah please mate, that would be awesome, only if its no trouble though  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

QuoteNo for nothing John 




but if you open any mission that has the model you want in it with world view editor, and then click on the model, under properties it will tell you the name of the model

 




How about with the bar table in salieri's (where drinks are served)doesnt have a model?

QuoteBscript changes the scene2.bin.And scene2.bin  files are in Mafia world editor tool bar.

So just search it there (the newest files are down) and place him where you want.

 




Oh right thanks  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

you have to add it as a human,


 




this is why I use BSciptview for modding


 




World editor is great for editing, copying  and moving things around


 




but for creation nothing beats Bscriptview


 


 




To Fix Bscriptview  download this file (Msvbvm50.dll ) and add it to your bscriptview directory/folder


 




(copy only that file from the download folder...not the whole folder)
