FDISK /MBR and fixmbr did not work, but I have a little plan that might work.
Harry:
I couldn't get into 'Recovery Mode', (I presently only have DOS) and so was not able to use fixmbr from the Windows XP CDROM. FDISK /MBR did not work either. People at were so kind to help me the last few days, but to no avail. I will now reinstall WXP on another HD on the same laptop and make a backup of MBR and partition table. I will then attempt to load the backup onto the broken HD and then use Active@partitionrecovery for my last recovery attempt. I'm still open for other suggestions though, but have little hope left. When I succeed (or not) I"ll post it here. Thanks for thinking with me, regards, Harry. |

It didn't work, because of a read error on the drive.
So now I have to recover the data I guess. |
