My dumbass brother got a virus from watching too much porn or something and now the hard drive is corrupted

If anybody knows how to get all the data onto a new hard drive and install Windows 7 on it too, I'd appreciate the help

Yeah sure, it was your brother LMAO

I've been in the game too long to fall for any bullshit porn ad

If your system won't boot and you absolutely must have the data on the drive, you might want to turn to a data recovery specialist, rather than try to fix the problem yourself. If your data isn't irreplaceable, that option is probably cost prohibitive.

You should boot your system from an Ubuntu USB, if you know anyone who has a computer that can make one, and run a program called GParted. Next you'll want to select the drive and create a GUID Partition Table. This will format your hard disk at a very low level, and from there you should be able to install Windows on it again, which there are innumerable guides for online.

No need to get rid of a perfectly good piece of hardware over a little bit of corrupted data.

Also, it's a very good idea to upgrade to Windows 10 right now. You people are insane. There's nothing wrong with the OS. Not to mention, Windows 7, being a decade old, is basically an antique at this point. Please STOP using it before January, when security support officially ends.

Windows 10 works great, and there isn't any reason to use anything else.

yeah but the monopoly prices though
