Hi Guys

I am currently havining a problem with my hard drive. I have two hard drives, primary 240 GB and secondary 19 GB. The primary disk seems to be damaged as I cannot format the disk and in the chkdsk command from windows xp CD recovery console I get a message saying "the disk has one or more unrecoverable problems". The disk though works just, that it is so slow, and it takes ages to open a program or do anything. I have tried formating the disk from the XP cd but it won't format. Can anyone please give me an idea of how can I recover my hard disk, if it is possible to recover it.
Thanks, Gully

Welcome Gully

a) Can you get into Windows?

if "yes" to a) - then what is your hard drive make and model number?

Thank you for replying.
Yeah I can get in Windows, it is just that when I actually start it, it is extremely slow. I also cannot format it, only quick format works. Otherwise the hard disk gets detected in the start up screen and also bios. I can also see the hard disk from the other hard disk (secondary one), and also from the partition magic software which I got installed in the secondary hard disk.
I don't really know the name of my hard disk, but I will try to get the model number. If you have any suggestion please tell me what to do.
Thanks so much.
