[abuaufa]

It driving me NUTS I really appreciate if you'd help me to fix this.

This problems occurred after my PC shutdown twice unexpectedly yesterday caused bad power supply. See below.

I have 2 DISK.

DISK 1 : C:/ & E:/ 40GB

Do you have a bootable Windows XP CD ? If not do you have the Recovery Console installed?

I have bootable CD . what next ?

thank for your kind help, AdvancedSetup

[AdvancedSetup]

Try booting up with the CD into the recovery console. At the DOS prompt type

CHKDSK drivename /R

Example:

CHKDSK D: /R

CHKDSK F: /R

CHKDSK G: /R

That should have full access to the drive and be able to check it a little better.

It is discussed in that KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058

could you give more detail, AS ?

thank you

The basics to launch the Recovery Console from CD are here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/rconsole.htm

Then it will put you into a DOS console and from there you would type those lines one by one finished with the ENTER key after each.

CHKDSK D: /R {then press the ENTER key}

Let chkdsk run

CHKDSK F: /R {then press the ENTER key}

Let chkdsk run

CHKDSK G: /R {then press the ENTER key}

Let chkdsk run
