      do you have a normal windows CD from which you can run recovery console (and subsequently chkdsk)
      I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

        I have the restore cd but using it will delete everything. Right?

        Not the restore CD- you need an actual windows Installation CD.

        Restore CD will erase everything.
