June 28, 200422 yr Assuming you have all of your data backed up, are you booting from the WinXP CD and allowing it to reformat C drive which it should recognize as Partition 0 ?
June 28, 200422 yr Author i did not boot from cd, winxp is on the harddisk (at fat32 section) i start the program from there, first step is succesfull but i can not go on. I can not format c because my important datas are still there..I have downloaded the "ntfs boot disk" from this adress ,i hope i can do something, did u use that program?
March 27, 200521 yr try this. buy another HD, install the OS on the new HD, then you won't lose anything.
March 27, 200521 yr Check the version of your xp files, the first version have problem of deleting another driver which happened to me in the beginning of win xp release !
March 27, 200521 yr XP cant see the C: drive because it has loaded the fat32 file system. During text setup, XP only loads 1 file system. To get around it, boot from the cd. XP will load the ntfs file system & you should be able to see both drives.
