My Drive "0" is a 1T GB drive and has been formatted with three partitions, "G", "C", and "F". The "G" partition with 13.77GB has my Windows XP Pro OS installed on the drive and also has the MBR. The "C" partition drive (431.0GB) and was setup to load my Windows XP Pro OS, and the "F"partition drive (429.0GB) was setup to download Windows 7.
Anyway, I was told that my that my "G" drive partition was FULL thus I was no longer able to backup any new work performed, nor was I able to download any additional software.
Then someone told me about EaseUS Partition Master so I downloaded it to my "C" drive partition. I had all sorts of issues trying to resize/move the "G" drive partition. I was then told that I must create some collocated space on my "C" drive partition. So, I clicked on the "C" partition and drug the right side of the partition to the left. I now had 238 GB of unallotted space. T then clicked on my "G" drive and moved the end of this drive into the unallocated space created on the "C" drive. Then I clicked on the on the upper left tab which read Perform task or something like that, and once the operation was completed the system re-booted. The Windows POST screen appeared and just froze. I re-started the PC several times but the same thing happened I had a small Windows logo screen and a mouse arrow but other than that, nothing.
After talking with the Tech with EaseUS and letting him take-over my screen, he suggested that I try the Windows Recovery Console. At first I entered "R" on the first Recovery screen and ran Chkdsk /p /r. When the scan completed I didn't notice any disk errors. Thus I typed in EXIT and shortly after my PC attempted to boot-up. The same thing happened as before but this time I got a BSOD. I couldn't read anything because it came and went at lightning speed.
I then entered the Recovery Console once more. This time I let the setup continue to the second set of repair options and pressed "R" to Repair Windows XP. I thought about performing a clean install but didn't want to take a change on loosing any of my data on the "G" partition.
When the REPAIR Windowx XP process started everything in the setup went smooth. Unfortunately it was 2:00 A.M. and I fell asleep. The following morning I looked in on the computer to see if the setup had completed but noticed that the setup process had frozen. So I thought it best to start the Windows Setup all over. However, while the Setup process completed as it should, when the PC booted this time it did nothing but cycle on and off with a BSOD flash message seconds later.
I've even tried loading a copy of Windows on a clean 1T drive thinking if I could get Windows up and running on the new drive I could then place the drive with the "G", "C", and "F" drive partitions in a docking bay and copy all the partitions from the old drive to the new drive.
Sorry for being so long=winded, but I thought I had bring you up to speed with what's going on.
Can someone HELP, or properly advise me on what I can do to get my system up and running and save all my work?
