My setup is as follows.... Product you are using: DiskPatch Operating system / Service Pack: WindowsXP SP2 Size of subject harddisk: 250GB Feb 23rd, 2005 - 10:59 PM
I would just like to state that I've now used AVG7 FREE and Norton 2005 both with the latest updates on both my drives and found no viruses. I tried replacing the registry for xp as recommended in a microsoft support article but I got the same error as before, so I reverted back and now will try a repair install and then a parallel install if that fails.

Hi, Tom, Thank you very much. I was able to repair the windows install on that drive. Product you are using: DiskPatch Operating system / Service Pack: WinXP SP2 Size of subject harddisk: 250GB Feb 24th, 2005 - 10:40 AM
We can't see much on this scan, except that the MBR is empty, which would account for the fact that no partitions are visible. We need a completed scan to determine if things are recoverable or not. I just attempted another scan... I let the scan run for 4 hours or so unattended and when I returned it had 1:58 left and had reached maxreaderrors and maxretries, I reset both of those parameters and continued. An hour later its stuck at 1:98 and is still reading both the floppy and hd. I didn't want to leave it running any longer so I rebooted. The result was a 0KB log file. How shall I proceed?

From your previous posting it looks like your disk is getting bad. ReadErrors are (obviously) not good. You should verify the disk to see what the status is, check the disk surface. You can use the diskpatch demo for this, or you could download the hdworkbench demo (this includes smart checks, might be handy to see what's going on). Keep in mind that if the number of bad sectors is rapidly growing, the disk is likely to fail soon. Thanks, Tom. I have a lisenced copy of R-Studio and I should have enough space on my other 250GB drive to recover all the stuff I want to see again.
