Re: Unrecoverably? XP screwed up.

A quick update: the problme was with D:, not C:

With a Master Boot Record editor, I wiped the partition entry for D: and now
XP works again.

Of course, D: no longer 'exists'; which leaves me with an interesting
problem to solve: which tools or strategies could I use to attempt to recover
(as much as possible) my good old D:?

Again, any suggestion would be welcome!

Go to the hard drive manufacturer's web site and download their free
diagnostic utility. Run that to check out the drive for physical
defects.

If the factory diagnostic reports that the drive is okay then post a
response back here and we will proceed to try and recover your
previous D: partition.

Good luck
