Have clean XP disk but because of files being partitioned when I loaded the new Microsoft released patch made specific for XP the computer no longer starts up properly and I can not see, and do not know how to get to the hard drive(s). Specifically the command prompt!
I can see it has partitioned the files when I try to open in safe mode - (F8)
I can also see that if I could get to c: and do a chkdsk /r the problem would be solved - (system message through Advanced Options - F8)
However I can not get to the c: drive!
If I could merge the partition files back to the c: drive I would assume all would be back to normal.
If I could get to the OS C: drive I would happily do a chkdsk /f /r!
HP Pavilion but can not even get F11 recovery to respond.
Computer does see the CD drive as it did read the start option of the clean XP disk but when I do either repair option or reinstall it says it can not see hard drive. When I just try and power up it just goes directly to the F8 main screen but none of the options work. It just loops back to the same screen after a number of seconds!
I am stuck in FRED territory! Luckily data is not an issue as I backed up everything prior to installing this specially released patch for the ransomeware issue.
