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.<br />
<br />
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?<br />
<br />
I can put it in another machine as the secondary and see all the file structure etc.<br />
<br />
Many thanks

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
