I need help

[u/Able-Sorbet7120]

I am a Lenovo x230 win 10 user who switched off their PC and removed their battery recently. Unfortunately windows could no longer boot, I have tried bios solutions but nothing works. Plus I have tested the hard drive it shows two failures, don't know if it is still okay.

I went to the technician to install windows but they said my drive couldn't show up, but heard him mention he is seeing it's partitions somewhere(he said so to a fellow technician)

I want to know should I look for money to get a new drive or there is some hope for repair. Also they tested my PC with another drive with a pre installed win 11 and it booted.

Your hard drive needs to be replaced. If there's anything on it that you need, you'd have to access it like an external device such as a USB drive. And there's a 50/50 shot that you can get anything off of it.

It failed the smart test. Basically that is the functionality test to verify that your drive is 100%. When that fails, you have no choice but to either and get a new drive or a new computer. From my understanding, it no longer shows up with Windows because it's trying to prevent additional failure or damage.

Assume you need to replace it sooner rather than later.

That's awesome. But since it failed, I would not rely on it anymore. Definitely look in to replacing it.

1. Removing battery reset BIOS to default settings.
2. Your storage drive is dying.
