So I'm a clumsy fuck and I pushed my laptop off of my bed. It turned off and now whenever I try to turn it on I either get "The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum." or "BOOTMGR image is corrupt. The system cannot boot"
I did the quick startup diagnostic test for my hdd and I got this

I tried running the test again and now it just says NOT INSTALLED
So is my disk completely fucked or did something just come loose?
Also, I'm on a hp probook 4540s running win 7

most likely its fucked; HP built in diags are normally pretty accurate. could potentially pull data from it still but probably not usable besides that. definitely try reseating it first before writing it off though.

Thanks for the tips. I tried unscrewing it and plugging it back in and it still refuses to boot, the tests now keep alternating between passed and not installed so I guess it's fucked haha.
What's the general price range for a laptop 250-500 gb hdd?

Hard drives are pretty cheap as far as computer components go. 5 minutes on amazon says $35 for 500GB, $50 for 1TB, and $100 for a 250GB SSD. All US prices, but unless you're in a place with heavy taxes they shouldn't be too much higher than that.

Might be irrelevant but just thought I'd share I had the same issue with a HP/windows 7 laptop recently, crashing and then always displaying the same error message when trying to reboot: "BOOTMGR image is corrupt. The system cannot boot".
I couldn't bother trying and get it fixed (company laptop) but after waiting for a few days (3-4 days) without touching it, I tried rebooting and it actually worked fine. I just fear the issue may show up again in the future.

Tbh that's usually my method of solving problems too so I'll check if it fixed itself tomorrow, if not, im gonna grab a 320gb that I found for $30

I'm assuming it's 2.5" but you also need to check the thickness. There's 5, 7, 9.5, 12.5, 15 and 19mm 2.5" HDDs.

Never considered that tbh. I guess since I'm buying it from an irl store, I'll just show them the old one and ask if it's compatible. Thank mr setsul

You could also look up the model number or use the sophisticated technology known as "ruler", just to be sure.
Buying online might be cheaper.
Also if you want to you could get an SSD. Especially if 250GB are enough it wouldn't cost that much more.
