Help with Windows XP on damaged partition

[Guest]

I have a damaged NTFS partition which Windows XP Home edition resides
upon. When I try to start Win XP the logo flashes and then an error message
flashes by too quickly to read and the machine shuts down.

When I try to reinstall Win XP on the partition it hangs when it says it is
"Examining 57239 MB Drive 0 on bus 0 on atapi . . .".

I can boot into Win ME on the C partition.

I would appreciate any suggestions as to software which is able to repair a
damaged NTFS partition. Any and all help appreciated.

Bad sectors are usually the reason,you can boot to xp cd (even w/o xp
installed)
at info screen press r For recovery (forget the text,if xp isnt
installed),type:
CHKDSK C: /R It'll attempt to repair,type:EXIT When thru...How does one
have ntfs problems with xp on it,but also its ok with WIN ME...ME is in FAT32
file system,it cant even see ntfs files.One can convert from FAT32 to
ntfs,but
to go back to ME,youd have to reformat the hd...Youre confused somewhere.

Why do you bother to post such jibberish? Could YOU even understand what you
posted?
Please learn to post a understandable post.
