SO I think I know what I did to cause this problem (using a third party
defragger with a SATA HD without having a hotfix that I didn't know about
until I had the problem...see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941715/en)
but now every time I try to boot it just says "disk read error" and "press
ctrl-alt-del to reboot"
The weird thing is that I can mount the HD in an external enclosure and
browse all the files. I can get into the recovery console and it sees the
installation. I can run chkdsk. I can run a repair install. Nonw of this has
worked though, still "disk read error". As a last resort I tried fixboot and
fixmbr, but still nothing. I've run several diagnostic programs that detect
no problems with the hard drive. Is there any hope other than
reformat/reinstall?
