    Well that was fun..

    Got back.. and look at PC.. It's off..

    Swich it on..

    Instantly after lilo

    Can't load <windows dir>system32\hal.dll

    So I boot from CDrom

    Can't access C:

    chkdsk

    The entire windows folder is gone and is now a load of dirnumber.chk and filenumber.chk files and folders..

    The outlook is grim..

    Hmmm,

    That doesn't sound good:

    These tools may help:

    http://www.s2services.com/windows-chk-files.htm

    I think that the Win2000 ones will work for XP.

    Have you just lost your OS/applications or is there data as well. If it is just the OS then you would probably be better off with a format and re-install.

    Good luck!

    Thx, nihil for these tools..

    Well.. it's just the entire windows folder.. .,
    So no unique data is lost..

    I should really just reinstall from the recovery 'ghost'..
    I won't be able to recover all the files needed to 'rescue' the system..

    I just hate having to install everything and even more having to look for the original install media..

    So now it's backup time... bleh..
