fix unbootable drive
I am trying to fix an image of an XP pro SP3 drive which has been damaged by
overfilling. It is a 20GB image now residing on a 250GB drive. I have used Win7 to check the contents of the drive, run chkdsk and defrag, but when I put the drive into the original computer I get "error loading operating system". I'd like to run fixboot from the recovery console, but when I boot to an XP setup CD it says Drive C is unformatted, damaged bla bla bla. I've mentioned that the drive was readable as a slave on a Win7 box, so why can't the XP setup system read it? Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the drive bootable, without doing a clean install? |
