The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I screwed up my Hard Drive

Asked by Lastlanding in Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: screwed, hard, up

I have WD 800 ~ 80 GB Hard Drive. It had bad sectors so first it crashed my OS and then later on started to have booting problems until I used Hdd Regenerator to recover bad sectors. The bad sectors were recovered at first but later on after restarting the computer the hard drive failed to boot up. I used Hdd regenerator once again and it discovered that the boot sector became a bad sector eventhough it wasn't at first but bios was still detecting my hard drive. Anyways, then I unplugged the hard drive and de-assembled it but just the back cover which reveals the platter of hard drive and took a look and didn't figure out any thing so I re-assembled it. But now the Bios is not detecting hard drive and the reader of Hard drive is moving over the platter in a continuous motion without any reason as soon i turn the computer on. any suggestion on how to re-assemble it properly so It can at least be detected by Bios.
Thanks By the way I only have 125 points so please don't mind the worth of this question.
