Hi All,
Firstly Knoppix is fantastic, really impressed with it so far. :D
I was orginally forced into booting with Knoppix since xp wasn't loading from my Hard drive. Safe mode wouldn't load either. I just got a message saying unmountable boot drive. Did a bit of research and it seems I have bad sectors on the drive. I doubt it is a physical error since it is reading and writing perfectly from Knoppix.
My question really is: How can I repair my hard drive from Knoppix. I ran the xp recovery console using the xp cd with the usual commands chkdsk /p, chkdsk /r fixboot etc. Nothing has worked. I really need to get the pc up and running again. Can anyone help on this? :?
Cheers
