What I did was to purchase a new hard drive and then copy my partition from the old drive to the new one. When I did it didnt work so I figured I would do a clean install on the new drive and just transfer files from the old one as a slave. Now I cant see the old drive in win explorer. It shows up in the device manager but not in my computer or explorer. So, i reverted back to the old drive to back it up and format it but during startup it says it cant find the autochk.exe. I put in the XP Install disk to access it from dos and copy the file from another computer and replace it but it wont except it. Does any one have any ideas that I am missing???? I need about 15Gb of info from that drive. Please help me....
