Windows won't boot and all I need are some photos off the hard drive, after that i have no problem throwing it away. Here's what i've tried and seen.
When i boot up it says "Pri Master Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. Command Failed Press F1 to resume"
If i boot up and let scan disk run i get a scrolling screen with sequenced numbers saying "File record segment XXXX is unreadable" (X represents a number, for example it goes 5173, 5174, 5175, etc.)
I've tried windows repair by booting with windows 2000 cd and when i do repair it says no version of windows is found in hd.
I've tried to put a different hd as the master and set the bad one as slave so i could try to get files thru windows explorer. However, once windows comes up i get a blue screen with "*** Stop: 0x0000000A (0x000080B3, 0x0000001c, 0x00000000, 0x80415556) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Am I screwed? I would appreciate any ideas to get this drive up.
Thank you,
