Hmm it looks like its trying to boot off the first partition maybe? which is why its giving u that error? If there's nothing on Partition 1. Can u delete Partition 1?? or Can u make C the active or system partition, with the recovery console?? (I take it C should have windows on it). I dont know what the recovery console has in it. I've never used it. |

| 341755 | 2005-04-04 23:32:00 | I deleted the first partition and the same thing happends the recovery console helps you to recover windows and boot it. If I am able to run chkdsk in the recovery console everything should work fine but I am unable to do so do you know anything about chkdsk or should I just try to format and reinstall but then I would lose alot of information let me know. Thanks | ajonline (7761) | ||
| 341756 | 2005-04-04 23:42:00 | Ok. Have u got a spare IDE hard drive?? With windows or something on it. If u have, u could put it in as master, and see if u can access the SATA, once u get into windows. And then format the SATA? Nope I know nothing about chkdsk. Never had to use this either. Just what it says on the MS site. Did u try chkdsk c: /r in the recovery console? And I take it, it found no errors? |
