Anyone know any way to fix the boot sector on a hard drive. This thing is driving me nuts. I can load up fine if I boot up from the usb key and the drive seems to be running a little slower than normal too. I know the hard drive is fucked but can't really afford a new one right now (gonna keep an eye for used but :dread: ) it's a 2.5" IDE of all things and they seem to be more expensive than a sata that has 5 times the space. Maybe some magical software or something? I think I'm really just boned but thought I'd ask.

You might be able to fix it.
Is that a netbook (no optical drive) with XP?

Nah it's a full laptop - but yeah XP. It's the one I bought off Drag a couple years ago. It's been through a lot.

I may actually get a netbook this Christmas, just have to make this last til then.

Use the Recovery Console on the XP installation disc: Repair the file system boot sector or the master boot record (MBR).

Believe me that's the first thing I tried :wacko:

I even had those crazy hal and kernell dll errrors but think I've taken care of those at least. When I boot up without the stick it gives me a slightly different error message when I go to log in stating that their isn't enough system resources as well :grazy: Which is silly because as far as I can tell everything else checks out like the RAM and GPU etc..

You could try marking and isolating potential bad sectors on your HDD. But I've only ever done that via a low level format + clean install.

Really your HDD might be kaput...or is it a MBR virus? :thot: idk

I'd just go for a clean slate if it was me.

Yeah I eventually did do a full format. Tried lots of things so far actually. I mean I don't mind loading up with the stick really as it will just be for a few more months. What's more annoying is the slowness of the drive.

Actually DL isolating the bad sectors is a good idea. I assumed it does this automatically but it is an old drive, hmmm. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow. Even if it screws up what I've installed so far it doesn't matter.
