So if I put my HDD in this machine, and this machine's HDD in my machine, what exactly would that achieve? Is there potential my HDD could get messed up too if it's the machine causing problems?
Earlier I mentioned window$ tried to auto repair and stopped (because it wanted human intervention) do you think it worthwhile intervening and getting window$ to do a repair? I'm presuming it can see the drive/partitions.
Ubuntu addict and loving it
on the first post there is this error
You would be as well dropping oldfred a personal message and asking if its the problem - then go from there ........Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
There are other posts showing what happens when this message comes up ....... but whether they apply to your own situation I cannot be sure
Never presume anything - especially when it can involve losing lots of data - but only your friend can decide how much useful data is on the drive.window$ to do a repair? I'm presuming it can see the drive/partitions.
there are ways of getting a lot of it off - or even making a copy/clone of the drive - before something happens that makes it non retrievable.
So oldfred is probably as good as anyone to look into this - if he is available. https://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=852711

If error is from sdb, post this in code tags:
sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdb
Do not use older live installer. Only newer versions of fdisk support gpt partitioned drives. You can use parted or gdisk, each gives slightly different and often useful info.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I'm glad it's not my machine because I would have gone with my presumption and probably made a real mess of things.
Live installer being LiveCD? That could be a contributing factor, the latest version I have on disc is 14.04 I can't boot with USB because I need a PW for BIOS.

It is saying drive may have issues. Double check that all cables are tightly connected.
Then in Disks, upper right corner is Smart Status. It will say good or bad, and can run many tests. Do not know details on tests.

I've got the back off the machine and found a lot of play in the optical drive and the HDD. The HDD screws all got about 3/4 - 1 turn to tighten them, cables seem secure.
Two questions before I put the cover back on and try the smart status:
#1 I've tightened the optical drive screw as far as it will go, possibly over done it, yet the drive still moves a good 1-2mm is that normal? It looks like I may be able to fold a bit of pater, or perhaps put some aluminium tape in there there to reduce the play, would you recommend that if the play is not normal?
#2 Whilst I have the back off, would now be a good time to try and reset the BIOS PW? Or should that be a later task once we've established what's going on?
Thanks

If you have case open, you might as well reset BIOS. You may jumper pins or remove motherboard battery for a bit.
Also then a good idea to see if a newer version of UEFI/BIOS is available from vendor & update it.

After 2.5 - 3hrs waiting for the extensive Smart disk check to complete, the results are "last self-test completed successfully" and the "disk is OK"
I still get the same output errorCode:ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdb GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.3 Problem opening /dev/sdb for reading! Error is 123.
