Hi all,
I have a 13GB Seagate barracuda hdd with a 9GB windows ME and 3GB win 2000 Pro partitions. All was fine for 8 months until 3 days ago. The NT Loader screen would come up and when i get into Windows ME i have no CD-ROM support. Well in fact i got that horrible IDE parent and child device error. However in Win Pro i could see all CD-ROMS. I ran Norton AV in ME and it couldn't read the boot record but it could read the MBR. So i figured i had a virus in the boot record because my computer would run a bit slower to with the virus in memory.
I tried many things like booting up with systems disks and scanning from A: after booting into DOS. I tried FDISK /MBR. Then i tried SYS C: which got rid of NTlder and went straight into ME. Now here lies the problem. I did another Norton AV scan and the options to repair and innoculate came up. I chose repair and since then when i boot up i get "NTlder is missing". So now my C: drive is unreadable and i can't install ME again on it saying i don't have enough space i.e "checking the registry and windows ME requires this amount of space etc". I can't even access ME(C
partiton when i slave the hdd of another machine. But i can see the Win pro partition (D.
I have tried repairing the Win Pro installation using win pro setup floppies and ERP disk but no go.
