So I ran the extended test to perfrom a check because windows could not start and the start up repair did not work.

Error code as above in confidence test ,  read test and verify test - "disk-block 30954036: can't read, replace disk or remove write protection."

Does this mean the disk died? or, can I remove write protection? How can I do this when windows cannot start?

By the way, extended test took 8 hours!
