After shutting down my computer normally one day...I start it back up and have not been able to boot it up normally since!...I have tried just about everything I can think of but I am still holding out hope that there is a solution, but have not yet found one...
I have the VERY unfortunate problem of not having backed up my data before this happened unexpectedly...So I DESPERATELY do NOT want to have to format my hard drive, because I will lose so many files I do not want to lose (assuming, of course, that I haven't already lost all of them, due to whatever the problem is)...
I have Windows XP Pro, I have one HD with C: and D: partitions, the system files are only on D: After running Recovery Console and doing the chkdsk /r, the process stopped at 25%, and I got a message saying: 'The volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems'.
One of the first errors I remember seeing after booting up the first time, thinking everything was normal, said something about boot.ini...
I found a thread that featured others who had astonishingly similar cases of what I am going through, and you can see it here , maybe someone can give me a better idea of what is going on here, and what I can possibly do here...
Please help if you have any hopeful suggestions or possible solutions, or any idea of what appears to actually be wrong here...
