When you say recovered do you mean backed them up or just that you can access them from old hard drive? Also is their a particular reason you want to restore the system instead of a clean install? You can download the drive utility for your brand of hard drive and run different tests.
BSOD, boot drive contents intact but no boot
My desktop running WinXP Home gets a BSOD each time it tries to start normally, safe mode or last good config. The error code is 0x0000007b (0xB84C3524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
...and nothing else.
I've managed to boot the system on an old HDD that I hadn't deleted and have recovered all the important files on the problem drive but would like to try restore the system if possible.
All the files on the problem HDD are visible and the drive/partitions are recognised by windows, I just can't boot off that drive/partition!
I've tried using Testdisk and the Boot sectors are indentical, both MFT seem OK but don't match but I can't get into recovery console because setup can't find any drives installed. Running CHKDSK /f from the old HDD on the problem HDD completes without errors. Can't run fixmbr nor fixboot because I can't get into the recovery console.
Anything else I can try?
