I've tried everything everyone has said worked for them, wellll my last option,,,,
boot from xp cd to Recovery (again...) this time, ran chkdsk /p n found errors, so
now I'm chkdsk /r and its taking forever. All I did was move my boyfriends pc from
one room to another... maybe i should put it back where it was?? I gotta fix this
before I give it back to him! hahaha
