1) I had XP SP2 installed and my PC config is as follows : 40 GB hdd 3 partitions (C,D,E, C-11GB, D-13GB, E-13GB )..C: drive had the OS installed
2) When i startd my PC, it made a reboot as soon as the XP loading screen shows up and this continued.
3) Tried re-installing XP SP2 in c: but nthng workd out !!
4) Then opted to make a clean format of C: but in that case had to save some precious data first. I ws sre that smthng serious hd occured nd to make sure that the daa ws intact i tried KNOPPIX live cd and found data contents present. So that relievd me a bit.
5) Next i had to copy over that data into D: drive and then format C:
6) Couldnt do this from KNOPPIX hence tried recovery console. but d commands dint seem to work..errors nd errors all d way ..
7) Without takin any risk i took my hdd to a frnd's place, connctd as a slave nd tried copyin c: drive contents but there it said " This disk is not formatted, do you want to format it now?"...Clicked NO..then tried up with chkdsk /P...the check ws OK...the drive did open up nw BUT MY c: drive which ws earlier of 11 GB is nw 10 MB.. ..used-1MB free-9MB...wher's my data gone..??..
8) I thought of connectin d hdd into my pc nd den tryin smthng out, Nw i'v installed XP SP2 in D: drive but still my c: drive shows 10 MB capacity and when i open it up it is all empty. Am sure that the data still exists on d HDD...i just dont knw how to recover it ..
9) nd yes i remeber i had deleted "system volume information" folder yesterday. did this turn out bad or the problem is smthng else??
