i have a sony vaio that was in a house fire its pretty beat up i tried to wipe the memory but its not working could i just buy a new hard drive or what should i do.
it works it turns on when i got it i was using it and it froze and it messed up so i tried to wipe the hard drive but something messed up.
Why don't you try booting off a live CD bootdisk such as Barts PE. The entire OS runs off the CD, or do a live linux CD. If the OS runs fine off the CD, then you will have a pretty good idea that it's the hard drive and worth replacing it.
but it says primary master drive has failed will it read anything if i put it in the drive.
it says my primary master is on auto.
i dont have an os disc so should i just buy a new hd and os.
