I am running a pc on XP which was upgraded from 2000.
Until yesterday everything was fine. I turned on the machine and the bootup
started but then the message Invalid Disk Structure appeared and the computer
stopped. I have removed the disk and run it on another pc as a slave and can
access the files on it. The disk is still in Fat32 format.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Are you sure about the exact wording of the message?

Download a drive diagnostic utility from the drive manufacturer's web site.
That will create a bootable floppy or CD. Boot from that and run the
diagnostics.
