So my Windows XP home edition crashed on me, which was very upsetting seeing
as how the last five years of my life were on there. However, I realized it
was an unmountable boot volume error, which is usually easily fixed. So I
followed the necessary procedure to do so, and upon surpassing that error I
was resented with a new one, one which Microsoft doesn't even list as being
an error. So, now met with my real life demon I took several attempts at
resolving the situation in recovery console to no avail. SO I went out and
bought a converter so I could hook up the hard drive as an external to my
laptop. And while my original thinking was just to transfer all the files
over, I got to thinking, perhaps I can some how just repair the windows files
via my laptop, since I have access to them, any suggestions on how to go
about this would be wonderful. Thanks for all help.
 
Backup your files, run tests on the drive, then put the drive back in the
computer and try a repair install.
