Dear friends,
I had used Automated Os installation cd to install Win xp sp2 in my friends place.
I had prepared this cd according to what was given in this months issue, "Take a crack"
After doing that My friends 1st drive crashed(it had WIn 98 installed in it)
Now that volume is tottaly inaccesible, not even in my house( i had brought the hdd in my house and tried to reformat it , but even that cant be done).
While i was installing Os i had some Blue screen which said that some file called partmgr is corrupt or damaged, and since then we are having this problem.
How do i come out of the situation, plz suggest workarounds.
Plz let me know was it bcoz i had used the automated cd for installation?
i doubt it bcoz while preparing the Sif file( called answer file) i never had to enter the drive into which the OS wil be installed.
How safe and reliable Disk recovery tools are?
CAn i use them to recover it
Or
Since that drive is a primary drive i wil have to del Extended drive partitions the del primary drive partition and then probably repartition all drives
Which opt to go for?
