Hi, I have read various threads about this, and think i need to boot to the xp CD in recovery, run chkdsk /r.
However, I have a pre-installed version of xp (that came with the pc), and therefore cannot boot to the cd.

does anyone know where I can get a boot disk, which has chkdsk on it, so as i can fix my corrupted boot drive, or a reasonably priced 3rd party software which will fix my file system.

the xp boot disks failed when trying to load disk 3 (during the hardware abstract layer) with:

file \halaacpi.dll could not be loaded
the error code is 4096

am re-downloading the disks in-case there was an error. In the meantime, anyone else got any suggestions????

Worked fine (after re-downloaded the disks) thanks
