| 16125 | 2001-07-26 03:21:00 | Hello, I ran a Norton System check on my dual boot win98/win2k partition. On rebooting the damn thing wouldnt start!! I made a post earlier and the reply helped a great deal ( I can start the win2k recovery console) but for some reason that has corrupted the ntoskrnl.exe and now win2k wont start either. My main problem however, is that my C: drive cannot be recognised. win2k setup recognises it as FAT32, however when I try to read the contents it will not work....(cannot read the format, either unformatted, corrupt or different format). From this I suspect that Norton has mucked up the first few sectors of the drive. My question is this, is there a way to recover the condition of the drive i.e. get c: drive up and readable again? or must I format and start again (please no!!!!)? |

In these circumstances I would normally FDISK and unconditonally format the HDD before re-installing only Windows 2000 compatible utilities. |
