My hard drive recently got a corrupted windows file. What i did was formatting the harddrive in cmd with this commands

diskpart

list volume(it listed that my harddrive 298GB is a RAW FS)

select volume 2(let's assume its in volume 2)

format ft=ntfs quick label=Data ( I dont really know what this command does.. Im guess I should have type RAW instead of ntfs, I dont know what does those mean)
after I reformatted my harddrive. I do a installation windows 10.After 10minutes the installation failed due to an error

Note: I forgot what the error was about. The harddrive is from my laptop. I plugged it into my pc and removed my pc HDD

Please dont, I did nothing to the harddrive. Just a normal windows update and one of the windows file became corrupted ...So I decided to just format it

 

Well, You've intsalled a fresh copy of windows and it still failed. Seems to me like a bad drive.

does not matter what you format it to I think. You can't install to a wrong format. It would tell you you need to reformat.

 

why don't you install it on your laptop itself? Windows 10 activation is hardware based, isn't it? so putting it in another system after installation would cause unnessecary troubles.

 

could be either disk that is giving errors, or, i had a pc not too long ago that couldn't get through the windows install, it had broken RAM. Broken RAM can give all kinds of weird errors.

You might make a boot disk/USB with Mem test on it. Like @Stefken89 said it could be bad ram. Check out the Ultimate Book CD for these tools. They have tools to check your hard disk too. If you hard disk is failing, this is a perfect time to upgrade to an SSD. Put new life in to your machine. 

 

 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
