Hello,
I have an XP WDC 500GB Hard Drivbe with about 78GB on it inlciding my XP install. It has been fine for months but..
Starttd to take a long time to access files etc.. So.. with Seatools Dos did a check and it has 7 errors. Did not fix them.
When I boot into Windows it gets to the Windows Welcome screen with the blue vertical lines noving horiz in the bar but then it goes black and quickly shows a blue screen I cannot read and then reboots agin. Does this over and over even into Safe Mode.
In event viewer before it started this rebooting, it had shown a bad block.
What I would like to do is keep my Xp install so what is the best way for me to try and do that. I have my XP Disk.
When I boot to the XP CD it goes to the screen which shows the XP partition. There is no option to Repair just delete, add a partition of install.
I am hoping I can somehow replace the foles that are corrupted in these bad block areas, then fix the blocks.
Am I on the right track?
Thanks
oz
