umm.. question.
when i browse do i choose the whole SeaToolsDOS213bEURO winrar file or do i extract some files out of it?
because when i chosed the whole winrar, and placed it in my not working comp, it gives me an error.

[edge2022]

Choose the whole file. The file is a disc image (.iso) file. Winrar sometimes associates itself with those files. When you click on browse...
Choose SeaToolsDOS213bEURO.iso

it gives me an error.

Describe it.

"Hard Drive Diagnostics running..
Drive 0: ST3160815AS - Fail Return Code: 7 "

does this mean i need a new hard drive? =\

[hfcg]

Yes.

[shadowkid]

anyone know a hard drive that's compatible with a dell dimension 9200? =X

Any SATA hard drive will work. The size depends on how much storage you would like to pay for.
Check out newegg.com and tigerdirect.com for SATA hard drive prices.

You will need a new hard drive. A SATA one will do as stated above. If you need data recovered from the drive, you will need to take it to a professional data recovery service.

Here are some good ones:
