[SOLVED] BSOD 0x0000007b

[Docfxit]

I'm getting a BSOD 0x0000007b

I was trying to fix the OS before I received the BSOD at:
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 - x86 - SFC Errors

You can see in the link above I have run chkdsk c: /f and it ran clean. With the attached screen shot you can see the "Root cause found:: of the BSOD is Bad hard disk.

Is there a way to fix the hard drive since the chkdsk shows no problems found?
Is the "Bad hard disk" a flag that can be turned off?
This is Win 7 32bit.
I tried creating a CD with Macrium from Win 10 64bit so I could clone the drive to a good drive connected to USB. When I booted it the screen was not readable. I tried cloning the drive with Clonezilla. It ran with no errors. The cloned drive was not readable.

The chkdsk command only checks the integrity of the file system and there is no "bad disk" flag to be turned off. I wouldn't recommend cloning disks with boot problems since you're just going to clone the issues with it.

I assume since this is Windows 7 then this is a MBR disk? Are you dual booting with any other operating system?

Can you please open a command prompt window from Windows RE and then attach the following:

C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

You may need to change your partition letter to something else.

I would confirm disk failure with SeaTools Bootable: Hard Drive (HDD) Diagnostics (Sea Tools for DOS) & SSD Test

It shows 99 errors. It says to check the help topic 'Bad Sector Found' to repair the errors. I can't find the topic in the help that comes with the software or the online faq.

It's probably referring to this: What do I do if my drive reports bad sectors? | Support Seagate US

However, since you've got bad sectors and your operating system doesn't boot, I would just consider getting a new drive. You'll eventually run into the same issue in the future if you continue with that disk.

Thank you for the help...

I think it's time to retire this laptop. I don't think it's worth it. I'd rather spend my time on a couple other PC's that I'd like to get fixed.

Thank you.

No problem, at least we managed to confirm the disk failure.
