Computer Hard drive

[Anselmo]

So... there is a BSOD that i can't identify and when i try lunch startup repair it says i need to format my computer hard drive, and i don't want to install the OS again during holydays...

At hardware level, everything is good with the disk.

Is there any solution to make my computer work again???

Re-Install the OS.

If that's what it's telling you to do to resolve the issue then that's what you need to do.

No getting around it really

Yep. Backup your data using another computer (Slave the hard drive) or use a USB/Sata/Ide adapter to pull the files. Hopefully they aren't corrupted.

A last ditch effort is opening the command prompt on your Windows reinstall disk and typing chkdsk /r

Dude, Thats why i set my 4gb flash-drive up as a secondary hard-drive. Works fine with a hacked version of ubuntu so i can save programs. :) I also added on a second partition so i can save removable media onto it ans still access it in a different operating system or in my case my main system. The second partition also allows for backing up files before i redo my hardrive. but when i first set it up for this i was in a rush and didn't install two partitions. But i re-did it after realizing i forgot the second one when redoing the hardrive for the first time on my own computer insteaod of other people's computers.
