I'm running a double-boot system with win98SE (on C:\) and win2000 (on D:\).
Yesterday my computer crashed while I was working under win2000.
Because even ctrl-alt-del didn't work anymore I pushed the reset button.
At the reboot of win2000 the C:\ partition was (according to scandisk)
corrupted.
Scandisk converted nearly all files and folders, including /windows to files
with the extension .CHK.
Is there a way to recover those files or do I just have to re-install win98
if I want to have it again?
I'm asking this before I do it because it means also reinstalling win2000
afterwards.
Or is there maybe a way to backup the files needed to boot win2000 (ntltr
etc.)
and then restore it afterwards ? I doubt it because I can think of no way to
backup and restore
the MBR. Maybe I'm wrong and there is a way or I don't need the old MBR.
Just a thought...
