Thread: Hard Disk Damaged


hi,
have 500 gb hdd on laptop. laptop dual boot vista , karmic.
upgraded natty. after 1 day disk crashed. can not install neither vista nor ubuntu on it.

vista takes 30-45 minutes install on normal laptop. when tried on hard disk- took 4 hours expand 65% files. therefore, aborted operation. vista informed disk faulty , needs replacement.

deleted partitions there 1 partiton of 465 gb. tried install natty. @ time of copying files - says installer crashed. during installation process the massage keeps popping disk reporting health problems. same (installer crashed) happened earlier also.

there no physical damage hdd.

question are:
1- how ensure hard disk damaged?
2- there way correct it?

if able connect computer can use s.m.a.r.t. monitoring tools run scan of disk. full scan take quite while. gsmartcontrol nice graphical frontend smartmontools.
