XP Recovery Console fails on CHKDSK the drive has unrecoverable errors

Hi, i have a harddrive that gets as far as the XP logo and constantly reboots. Cannot get into safe mode as it reboots before it has loaded.

I have tried the XP Recovery Console and i can fixmb, but when i try a chkdsk it says the drive has unrecoverable errors. Is there anything else i can try or is the drive just knackered?

I can put it in another machine as the secondary and see all the file structure etc.

Many thanks
