What do you mean "pass all the test" ?
That's windows booting off of the CD drive, nothing to do with the hard drive.
The tests I'm referring to are in the Utility Partition which I assume in on the hard disk. It has extensive tests for all the hardware devices including the cables. On my computer it is accessed from the Boot Device Menu (F12 key at start up)) which has nothing to do with the Windows CD.
It is obvious that I am no computer expert, but it seems to me that if I can access stuff on the hard disk, it may not be a hardware problem.
I don't know if all computers have this. It may be a Dell thing.
