Hi, well I went to turn my computer on today and I had an error that said windows could not load "windows/system32/config/system
now I could not load in safe mode...
SO I inserted my windows CD and used repair... now my problem is that when I press "R" it doesn't scan anything, it just boots to a command prompt.
Now I never had to use the repair feature in my life, so I don't know how its suppose to work.
When I tried to run chkdsk /r it said that it could not repair or a file was missing or corrupt.
Now the only thing I was able to do was creat a new bootsector.
Now my problem is this.. Did I lose everything on my C:?
I didnt delete anything and I have access to another computer so I can install my HD as slave... is there a way to recover my files??
Thank you
A very sad partner today....
UPDATE:
Well I plugged my drive in another computer and its detecting as a FAT file system when it was a NTFS and it says its only a 10meg drive when it was 320gigs... I'am thinking its only seeing the new FAT bootsector that was created.
UPDATE 2:
I've installed getdataback for NTFS and it sees all my info, so I'am in the process of backing up my essential files.
Now my question is.. Is there a way for me to remove the fat bootsector that was created for C: and tell it to check my NTFS?
Everything is there.. my windows directory and everything.. I just want the computer to boot of this partition.
Any advice would be appreciated
