My HDD is dying... Windows 2000 partition doesnt want to startup anymore. Says Unbootable Device. Any Ideas how to repair it?
I am suprised at this. It is only 2.5 years old. About 1.5 Mb of 20Gb is taken by bad sectors. My other 3 Gb HDD is 4 years old and still doesnt have any bad sectors on it.
Well , I don't know if this will help but the idea is : all OSs have some boot files on the boot partitions . Might be some corrupt files or so . Did you try formating your system ?
rewrite MBR?
before that he should TRY reformating the HD .Quote:

Do a low level format, hoepfully the bad sectors will get tagged as such.
If there's no loose bits of stuff flying around in the drive, then it *should* live once again. However if you've noticed that the number of bad sectors has been increasing, then its very much time to get a new drive.
