I got this message and I followed the instructions by running chkdsk
/p and fixboot. that did not work then i ran chkdsk /r and that still
did not work. I cna browse the folders and files but when i tried to
resintall into the same directory it said unable to recognize the
partition.


Any suggestions without losing all my data?

Boot from your XP CD and select repair option. Then run "chkdsk /p /r"
command and reboot after. I suppose your PC is a Compaq Evo D310, in
that case, goto
HP's support page to download a fix for your OS.

Power off
Desktop:...Open the case and reseat the hard drive IDE ribbon cable at
both ends.
Laptop:... simply remove and reinsert the hard drive.
If that fails:

Otherwise go to the website of the hard drive manufacturer and
download their hard drive diagnostics.

Do you have a hard drive overlay such as Max Blast?
Windows XP sometimes has issues with overlay software.
You may need to perform a Clean Installation without there overlay
software which is not needed anyway.
