Hello, I hope somone can help me with this.
Recently I Put and old hard drive in my computer trying to copy my old
files from it. I set my computer to boot from my c: drive "Windows XP
Professional Sp2 'corporate edition' (80gb WD Caviar SE)" and i set the
old hard drive, wich was a working version of windows 98/NT, in my
computer as a slave drive. The wierd thing is When it booted it was
booting from the old hard drive. and the keyboard and mouse both seemed
to freeze. So i turned it off Took out the old hard drive. I left my
80gb in and went to start my computer.
My computer started normally.
But instead of starting windows it said.
Boot from CD:
Boot from CD:
Error with operating system.
After this i hooked up one of my other hard drives. It was running
windows xp professional and it worked fine and normally. the only
difference is that it wasnt sp2, and i tried to read the 80gb with that
other hard drive and it said that the partition was RAW. And when i
clicked on it said asked me to format the drive. but i didnt.
first i started the computer with a 98 floppy and ran 'fdisk'
It said the ussual things. Unreconized partition ect...But then when i
went to the information part. It said the partition was NTFS. AFter
this i am lost.
I tried using Active@ Partition Recovery v 3.0 to fix the partition and
Master boot record. It did a restore but it still didnt work. Then i
tried using the Recovery consule from the microsoft web site.
I used the proper recovery consule. for xp professional sp2. and i used
the 'fixboot' and 'fixmbr' option in the recovery consule. Then when i
went to start it, It didnt do anything.
It said the normal boot up things
S.M.A.R.T. hard drive cappibility. Enabled
Boot from CD:
Boot from CD:
....................................
Then is just stoped and the computer doesnt do anything else. and i
noticed that the floppy drive Light was on And didnt turn off until the
computer turned off.
Now after i used the recovery consule my other hard drive OS does read
it and says its NTFS partition and i can see the files. But i cant get
to the folders i made private under my login name.
I would GREATLY appreciate it if someone can help me with this.
