CodeBlue Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 After watching 2x09 I decided to attempt to repair one of my dead hard drives after plugging it in and set to slave i restarted and win2k would not load so i removed the drive and had to fixmbr my good drive, windows started fine then when i restarted i get "A disk read error has occurred" iv tried to use fixmbr and mbrfix but they will not fix the problem, the harddrive shows up on Linux and windows but says "drive corrupt" I have not attempted a format or repartition as i don't want to lose my data. any help would be great.
