Laptop will not boot up. I need help really bad.

Disks look ok, good, although the write errors are unexpected.

You seem to have two disks with Windows installations.. but I note they are designated as RAID.

I've not dealt with RAID personally, so can't comment on that view. Are you really using RAID?

Note: the way to upload screenshots (so the reader can click on them and have them expand clearly- yours don't and appear blurred- lower resolution- to me) is - as per tutorial- thus:

I do not know how to use these programs like you do. I did not see the errors that you are talking about. As far as both drives being set up as RAID drives, there again this is something that I know nothing about other than that is the way that the C: drive came in the laptop when I bought it used several years ago and as far as the new D: drive being set up as a RAID drive, that is how the Drive Manager set it up when I installed it. Thanks for letting me know how to upload the pictures correctly. Here they are again inserted and not as an attachment.

So, are you saying that I need to download and run Sea Tools and HD Tune both as well as run chkdsk /b /v C: and chkdsk /b /v D: ? But not all at the same time that chkdsk is running?

RAID is not configured unless you choose to.. it's quite complicated and involves the BIOS if installing Win 10 to RAID drives.

I don't know that you can configure RAID retrospectively once Win 10 is installed.

IF it really was a RAID configuration, I would expect identical partitions between the two drives - the only clue is the RAID designation in the Minitool screenshot.

Here are some example RAID instructions just for reference and comparison:
Installing the Operating System onto a RAID Volume—F6 Install Method
Is your BIOS configured tor RAID?

Otherwise, I'd be asking why you have a Win 10 installation on two different disks.

In short, I'm puzzled.

In Disk Management, you should see the text shown vs C: Crash, Page File etc- that's your boot disk.


Have you ever cloned your O/S or added a disk which had Windows already installed on it?

You're still not uploading your screenshots in the usual way. If I click on the one in post #21, e.g. it expands. Yours don't, alas.

In short, I too am puzzled. I honestly have never cloned my OS. It may be possible that the person I bought the laptop from did though. I have no idea if that is the case. This laptop came with W10 Pro installed on the C: drive. The 1TB D: drive that was also installed by the seller was empty. Here is a screenshot of Disk Management I just took. And BTW, I am using the "insert image" button on the toolbar to add this .JPG screenshot.

Perhaps you've restored an image of your O/S to the empty drive at some point.

I would suggest you try removing Disk 0, check your laptop boots and all is ok, then format Disk 0.

Let me make sure I have this straight. Physically remove the new 2TB D: drive (Disk 0), then boot up the laptop... that is if it boots without the D: drive. If it does, then reinstall the D: drive and format it completely.

I do not mind to do that but I will have to wait until my new 2TB portable drive arrives. I would have to back it up completely since it has ALL of my data on it as well as most of the programs I have installed as well. Then I can restore all of that stuff and continue from there.

Right now, I am going to reboot my laptop so that chkdsk /b /v D: can run and I am going to bed. I will read your replies as soon as I get awake and have a cup of coffee in my hand.

Thank you all very, very much for helping me through this. Catch you in the later AM. Good Night.
