Big Problem!!

[KingLewie2152uk]

My HDD is set is split into 2 partions, c: and h:, I use h: for my personal stuff. This morning when I went onto my computer it was being a bit temperamental when booting Windows XP Pro.... to say the least. This is usual since my PC is about 4 years old. It loaded up Windows fine after a bit of messing around!

Then when looking through "My Computer" to open a file on H: .... DISASTER STRIKES.... an alert window popped up saying "H:/ is not accessable.... the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable".

My immediate thought was "BOLLOCKS!".

Please, please, please if anyone can help to find a solution to this ball ache, or advise me in any way possible, I would be much appreciated!!

This isn't a solution, but your HD might be toast. But you probably figured that out already.

Does the H drive show up in Start, Control Panel, Administrative Toos, Computer Management, Disks. It should list your H drive. See if it gives any information on it. I would use a program called ERD Commander. This program will boot XP off the CD. Then you are able to access hard drives and files. The nice thing is it supports DHCP, which enables you go get your files transfered over a network to another computer, if in fact your hard drive is going.

well, just reformat the partition and restore files from your backup ...

chkdsk /f h: could do something for it...maybe not.
