Hello



Boot to recovery console:

Boot from XP CD.

When its ready it will ask you to either:

Hit 'R' for RECOVERY CONSOLE.
OR
Hit 'Enter' to install XP

You want to "HIT R".

--Remember don't be hitting the keyboard unless you are doing so for a specific reason.-- You can miss menu's if you do!!

Once in Recovery console run 'chkdsk /p'
and let it finish. it can take hours on a bad disk so let it go. The bigger the disk the longer it takes.

Then I'd see if the disk was/is failed and start backups.
