ok so a few days ago i decided to do a factory recovery in my laptop i went through all the steps and it stopped at one point and it came up with a recovery error 10-fc12-0017 and i went ahead and looked the code up online and came up with it may being a harddrive problem.
so i went out and bought a new harddrive. to my aggravation it did not work. new hard drive and came up with the same issues.
i seen it may also be a memory issue so having 2 1gb sticks i took one out and with the new harddrive tried to install it thinking maybe the 1 i took out was a bad one or something, this too didnt work, so i took the one i though was bad took the one in the laptop out and put that one in, and tried it again, still didnt work.
i tried partitioning the harddrive in 2 and tried one side it didnt work, then tried the other side, it also didnt work.
tried wiping the harddrive clean, and reinstalling that didnt work.
it gets to like 40% then stops with that error
i also tried using a factory licensed microsoft disc to try and see if i can load the os on the computer however this too didnt work i just came up with a corrupted file or missing code of some sort
the laptop worked great never had a issue with it at all up until now.
any help
