Running WinXp. Began having problems this a.m.; thought it was a hardare problem. But it is apparent a WinXp problem. The hard disk is seen by MaxBlast and by the Bios.
After getting the missing or corrupt message.. I followed the advise to run setup with R option. Have chkdsk many times, and played with fixing mbr and config through the setup R option to no avail.
Obviously I don't have a system backup - had one, cannot find it. Is there anything to do besides reinstalling Win Xp and/or reformatting the hard drive?
THANKS FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS.
