Posted

My friend got my his old laptop to "repair" or see if anything can be done.

When i try to bring system up it just blackscreen after starting screen from manufacturer.

So first thing i doubt was system error and i got my USB poped it in and started installing it.

It took windows 7 about 15 hours to install,i coudn't belive,i mean i can understand if it takes 3 4 h but 15.

So for last 5 hours it was just standing on "Completing installation" and i just pluged USB off cuz i was just wasteing my time.

I tryed booting system cuz in that phase it shoud already have basics of windows so i coud log on and run some tests.

Do you maybe know what is prob? I suspect it coud be bad hard drive cuz that laptop really bugs and taking notice that installation took so long.

Model of laptop is Lenovo G565 i belive..

You should never unplug the usb whilst it's installing

 

If the hard-drive wasn't broken before it is now

 

However that does sound like slow read write speeds from either the usb (old port)

or HDD

Yes i know but i was just "fuck it"..

I use that USB for other computers so i gues problem doesn't lie there.

I guess then that hard drive shoud be checked..

It could also be a slow port on the laptop

It's probably a slow or dead hdd. I suggest you try booting from a live linux install on a usb drive and see if that works - if it does then there's probably no problem with the hardware aside from the hdd.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
