635993 2008-01-31 20:37:00 I ghosted a drive with bad sectors to a good drive, but the partition is corrupt :(

It starts booting windows so I thought I would be able to do a windows repair, but the windows setup CD sees it as unknown partition type.

What are my options for recovering the data? It would be great if I could get the current windows install booting, but I realise that is a long shot.

635995 2008-01-31 21:09:00 Can you use the Windows disk to get into the recovery console on that partition? If so, try doing a chkdsk /p or /r and a fixboot, fixmbr.

If none of that works, try a repair reinstall again, sometimes doing the chkdsk and fixmbr etc will allow the XP setup to recognize the partition.
