How far does your PC get into the boot process? Do you have the XP cd to attempt to repair it? Good chance the recovery console might not see the HD anyway tho, but who knows.
The PC thinks there is no HD in there, I've slaved it and tried to look at it in another Win XP machine but no luck.
The data isn't valuable enough for a data recovery place, it's just going to be really shitty for me for the next couple of days if I can't get it.
I've got a couple of leads to try tonight, but I'm always open to more ideas. I'd rather spend a day or two trying to fix it than redo that data (some of which just won't get recollected). Each day I take trying to fix this problem is another day I get behind.
