| System file corrupt, not booting - will Recovery Console wipe hard drive? Master and slave is usually the easy way! Software solutions can become quite complicated.
__________________
If the drive shows up in BIOS, but the recovery console cannot find it... well I'd try a Linux Live CD. I'd try F.I.R.E or Operator, both of which, if I remember correctly, have data recovery tools. Never used them myself though. My System: Toshiba Satellite A200-28P

| System file corrupt, not booting - will Recovery Console wipe hard drive? Edited post on page 1. -------------------------------- I've never done slave & master before, dad has though so I could ask him to do it as he is travelling down here tomorrow - what happens with it? Would I just be able to retrieve my documents but then have to re-format? |

| System file corrupt, not booting - will Recovery Console wipe hard drive? Just wondered if you figured out a solution to your problem. Did you try the slave drive process? I'm a little nervous to try to do it myself. My laptop just won't boot into Windows and keeps giving be the BSOD. Let me know if you got it fixed yourself! I don't want to pay for data recovery! |

| System file corrupt, not booting - will Recovery Console wipe hard drive? You must set the CD/ DVD drive as the first boot device in BIOS. and then follow Phil Thomas advice in post #7 using your Windows setup disk. |
