I got the same error a few days ago on my xp system. It happened after an incorrect
shut down. I guessed it was a display driver problem. Put in an old pci graphics
card instead of the agp Radeon and it all came back. Interestingly, instead of resting
on that familiar black and white startup options screen it ran scandisk which took
quite a while and reported that it had corrected a lot of files. I just put my agp
card back and all was fine UNTIL another incorrect shutdown a couple of days later.
The same process didn't work this time which brought me to this forum. I tried just
about everything here power supply, ram, disabling/enabling in bios and more besides.
Knoppix ran perfectly. I then put the disk into another xp pc as a slave to copy
my important files ready for a reformat, but it said the drive was not formatted
would I like to format it now!
Loaded Knoppix on my working pc with the problem drive as a slave and was able to
copy my files onto my working drive. So how come it could be seen by Knoppix but
not XP as a slave?. The faulty drive is currently back in its home and being reformatted.
Still none the wiser! Any thoughts?
