Windows XP Disc Corrupt

Hi,

We seem to have a totally broken XP disc which we desperately need recovering. Initially, we were getting an error on boot:

"NTLDR is Missing"

And followed the following article to fix it:

But we couldn't even boot to the disc. We then tried re-installing windows and then mounting the disc. This just said the disc was corrupt.

Now we get an error:

"A disc read error occured"

We really need the data off this drive, so hope someone can help.

Thanks!

Bob
 
Sounds like your hard drive is fried. You can try a program like Spin rite from www.grc.com to see if you can get the surface to refresh to be able to recover it.

I would also recommend that you try restorer 2000 pro as this is a low level file recovery program that may be able to get to your drive.
