what likely occurred is that because
your disk was tuned up, the file
system had a minor crash.

your only option is to access the
disk system and run a couple of
commands.

however, you would need to boot
up with any winxp cd or take your
hard drive and install it as a
slave on a functional computer.

"what likely occurred is that because

How, exactly, does a file system "crash"?

What is the difference between a "minor crash" and a major crash, in
reference to a file system?

And why would 'tuning up' a disk cause a file system to crash?

check disk
