Boot the system with the XP CD in the drive. Choose to boot from the CD. Go through the menu and find the option to go to a DOS prompt. At the prompt it should be at C: if not type C: then enter. Type chkdsk /r to start checkdisk repair utility. Note there's a space between k and / ... chkdsk(space)/r. When chkdsk is done remove the xp disc and restart the computer.
Reply:Did you run CheckDisk? (If not, try that first)
