More computer woes...
Except this time it's unfixable.
My computer's can't start up at all, I tried a few fixes and whatnot but none of them worked.
I eventually deduced that my computer's hardrive got corrupted, and the only solution is reinstalling it.

Re: More computer woes...
I had a computer that got a currupt hard drive. When you turn it on. The computer should show a black screen and list all of the hardware in it. (How it looks depends on your motherboard) If it gets to this stage it means that your motherboard is most likely fine. After that your motherboards BIOS should load the first drive with a OS it detects or a disk in D drive. If it shutsdown/restarts at this point then it is your harddrive. Unfortunately for me I couldn't even reinstall my OS the hard drive was completely gone.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Eesh.
Once, we had to THROW OUT a VERY expensive computer because its harddrive was corrupt & its motherboard was broken.

When I used Startup repair, then it said that the "system volume" was corrupt.
Although it probably is actually broken, as you can still view your files in Stratup Repair, and when I checked the properties of my c drive, it said it was using up 0 bytes out of 0 bytes.
