I'm getting a "disk error has occurred" message in the bios on a k7s5a
I built for my daughter. It's a WD and the WD utilities say it's fine.

I've connected the drive to another k7s5a and it "reports file or
directory is corrupted or unreadable."

Is there any chance I can repair the drive? Not too concerned with the
data, but I'd like to keep the XP install as I can't get to my install
CD until Monday. Will anything clone the good drive to the problematic
one?

Any other suggestions?
