'Log File Initialization Error : Drive D'

[Guest]

I am running Win XP, on P4 2.4GHz with 500MB RAM

I have two physical Hardrives. My second hardrive is partitioned into
D & E

Just today, my computer starts up very slowly with a report 'Log File
Initialization Error : Drive D'

I can read Drive C and Drive E, can see directory of Drive D but cannot read
the files.

What could I do do to recover Drive D or do I have to reformat? Please help.
TIA.

Ron

Boot to the XP setup CD, and press 'r' for recovery console, run the command : CHKDSK /R
