Hi,
I've done physical diagnostic checking and my drive is Ok. Windows 2000 somehow became corrupt on the drive.
The symptoms were the machine would just boot thru the manufacturer logo and a cursor would just blink in the upper left corner.
I did system diagnostics, the drive is fine.
I booted up (using the floppies made from the CD) and got to the "Recovery" part, tried the "Automatic" and that failed.
Tryed the manual, when I do a 'dir' from the dos prompt I get an error like "Failed due to enumeration error" (or something very similar to that).
And I get an error on a 'chkdsk'.
My biggest "whoops" is no ERD.
Is my hard drive hosed? Should I just format and forget about the data on there? Or is it possible to somehow recover that information?
Would an ERD from another computer work?
Could I edit an ERD from another computer?
Thanks in advance,
--John
