Is there some way that I can get this fixed without reinstalling Windows? Please help and understand I don't talk computer talk. Thank You!

No, you will only have the wrong hard disk, the one with the operating system installed, is the one that gave you the error, the others are secondary, those hard disks are still good and you can recover the data.

HI.

 

I am afraid that the only solution would be to replace the hard drive, SMART errors are imminent failures. It is always convenient to make backup copies with some other device and more if sterno personal data

Another crazy question. I have several harddrives in my PC. Are ALL of them shot? I had saved a few thousand songs and quite a few thousand pictures on several different harddrives. Are they all lost?
