Bitcoin-qt: Failed to read block

[BldSwtTrs]

Hi,

I had installed recently Bitcoin-qt 0.8.5 and while it didn't finish to download the blockchain he stopped working, I couldn't open it, instead I had the error message "Failed to read block".

So I deinstalled it and try to reinstall it but I am still running into the same message "Failed to read block". What should I do?

Check your hard disk, it seems to have some bad sectors.

Can you try it on another computer?

What should I check concretly? My hard disk seems work fine aside from that.

Can you try it on another computer?

Unfortunately no. I really need Bitcoin-qt working on this computer.

Ok I understand you need it working on this computer, however to test can you try it on another computer first? As this would rule out so many things, one way or the other.

Good advice, maybe do a /chkdsk of your hard drive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHKDSK
