Nooluv,
Getting Check Disk to run sometimes will solve the problem.
Boot from the WinXP CD, then go into Recovery Console. Type from the C Prompt:
chkdsk drive /p /r
/p : Does an exhaustive check of the drive and corrects any errors.
/r : Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
If that does not work, you can always do a repair with the WinXP CD.
Take Care,
Richard
