Rebooted my Vostro 260 that was working fine. On reboot said HD had a bad sector and would not boot. Tried reboot from CD with Windows install Cd and it reboots to windows start screen and shows a little red dot above the windows starting message in the middle of the screen and will not go any further. I have removed the HD and attached at new HD with same result. Tried booting in safe mode and it will not. Removed the RAM and move it around still same result. System diagnostic shows CPU, Video, Memory and everything is fine but HD gives error 7. Tried booting with Windows 7 recovery cd still goes to the red dot and stops. I don't know what to try next. Any ideas?
