well.. i cant start my pc anymore, and i have to finish something rather important this week for school. The video and text are on the harddrive, but if it wont boot i think i have a bit of a fucking problem. Anyway, in the hope that anyone can help me:
windows xp is installed, so i think its ntfs partitioned. When i boot i get a blue screen with some babbles about a error in ntfs.sys i think.. when i run the recovery console i cant do 'dir' on the drive, chkdisk gives the same blue screen of death. so: did my harddisc crash, is there anything to do about it?
im quite pissed really. I tried connecting the hd to my other pc, but that one crashes too when its connected. any tips would be appreciated!!

I've had this error I think. The solution is on the microsoft site. Put in ntfs.sys and you should find it.

Yo, JAroen, unfortunately my laptop hard drive suffered a physical crash last week and I recovered everything successfully, though it took a little bit of work (and that drive is no completely annihilated).
If it's physical damage then make sure you use it as little as possible and spend its remaining running time backing it up (lots of ways to do that even in this condition).
The drive may physically be fine, it might just be some filesystem snafu. Try giginger's suggestion and also try mucking around with some files by plugging it in to another computer. When you plug it into another computer make it the _subordinate_ drive on that computer--don't try booting off of it, and use the drive you booted off of to rescue that one.

Yeah, try booting from the xp cd and reinstalling. There's an option where you can reinstall the OS without losing HD data. It doesn't sound like a hard drive problem, thankfully.

that could just be a standard error with filesystem fuck up, with your solution catching the most probable fault. I'm not a windows guy so I don't know specifically, but I'm just saying..

bbbut... if you boot from the cd you should be able to install xp over your old setup, unless there are physical errors on the harddrive itself.
well... if it doesn't work, then i guess things don't look too good. :(

go to recovery console and do: fixmbr fixboot
it's bad that chkdsk gives you a bluescreen, cause that has saved me many times before. sometimes it actually helps to tak. the drive out and give it a little slap (seriously). or try moving the drive into a machine which can boot and seeing if windows reads it.. if it does do chkdsk /r

partition table/mast boot record won't get in the way of other contents on disk--don't worry

by the way, it's actually possible to delete your partition table and then reconstruct it .. so really these procedures aren't bad.
just remember if it _is_ physically damaged, don't have it on too much. 5400rpm is fast!

Well, it sounds like it is physically damaged already.

JAroen, try my earlier suggestion of plugging it into another computer (again), but as the subordinate drive, so that you boot off of the other computer's regular primary drive and then access it from there. If that works, first back up your sensitive files and then we can try to fix the drive.
