I'm posed with a problem I can't find a solution for:
My pc runs on both an IDE and a SATA hdd (the sata hd is just for storage).
Recently I've tried to backup a another hd on the sata hd. Shortly
after,windows xp started giving me errors that the sata hdd contained
errors (eg: folder "blabla" contains errors, use chkdsk to correct the
problem). I didn't have time to adress the problem, and turned the pc off,
with intent of fixing the problem today. When I tried to boot today,
windows xp kept rebooting! When I unplugged the sata hdd, everything booted
normally. Problem is, I can't run chkdisk on the sata hdd since it isn't
plugged in...is there any way to boot from a disk that would allow me to
run the checkdisk on the sata hdd, and save my data?
Thanks ALOT in advance, I'm totally stuck here
