Invalid Disk Structure

[Guest]

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

Try running a Windows repair on that disk..

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.
