Hard Disk crash suddenly

Dear all,

The problem occured like this: When I try to close the cover of my coputer host, I may touch the hard disk or the wires and I also made another mistake, I touched the power button. They I restart my computer and it tells me "ntoskernel.exe" could not be found(window 2000 OS). I tried my harddisk as a slave on another computer, I can find the disk. But under the "Winnt" directory, no files. Then I use the win 2000 installation CD to repair. When at the command console, I can find "\c", but under this root directory, the "dir" failed.

Does anyone have any good idea how to repair my harddisk? I don't want to format my harddisk. Help.....!! :'(


Best Wishes
HWB

Re: Hard Disk crash suddenly

Ok do you have the windows install disk? Or a boot up floppy with fdisk on it? If not download this from our portal site
http://www.portal.itsallpc.co.uk/mod...Recovery_tools

Its about an 80 MB download but worth the wait!

Get on a friends pc and mount the iso. This is a full system of disk tool and utillities. Ok there are a load of fully loaded boot disk for windows versions on this disk boot from this cd one of the versions that is relevant to your system. ( Remember to change your bios to boot from CD first!)

The easiest way that i can think of to fix a problem with your boot.ini file is to run a switch of the fdisk command.

go to the dos prompt and run "fdisk /mbr" and it should re-write the boot.ini file for you!

Hope this helps you out Loz
