Boot a W2K or XP or 2003 CD and choose the first R=Repair option to get the
recovery console.  From there you can do a CHKDSK if the partition is
recognized.

And if that doesn't recognize the partition, then it's probably been damaged
by something (very likely a virus/worm).  You may be able to recover
something with the recovery software at http://www.ontrack.com.

Subject: [PCBUILD] WinNT Boot Problem

I have a hard drive with WinNT on it that I can't get to boot. It has 2
partitions on it. WinNT is on the C: partition. The error I get is the
volume is corrupt and can't go any further. I tried booting using the ERD
disk and repairing it, but it still tells me it is corrupt. I am out of
ideas, can anyone help?

Thanks,
David
