^ her harddrive rattles when i shake it.

i shake it a lot.


anyway, i agree with rbstr, try the repair installation first, it won't endanger any of your non-windows data.

if that fails, take your hdd to a working machine witha free ide channel and start backing up what you need, then format it, partition it, put the data back on, and head back to your system to reinstall windars.

edit: grr, you got wagner stuck in my head

We tried that in my situation. Wouldn't work. I lost everything.

Jet, buddy, I feel for you. It's a reallyyyy crappy situation. Thankfully Martyr had a sweet rig to spare (bless his heart), so I've been using this one since.

Good luck, we're here for you!

This sounds more like he shut his turned his computer off during the writing of an OS file, and that file got corrupted. In that case I believe most of his data should still be there.

Just smack it a few times with a bat, that'll fix it.


Yes, i am serious, im not joking.

Either that or stick a magnet on it for a few hours.

Don't be stupid, lots of things can happen (Forget to pick it up from the counter, set it down somewhere and someone steals it, etc.)

And that's not a flame.
