[QUOTE="geezermetal, post: 122609, member: 8114"] OK, I ran the partition wizard, it appeared to complete it's task OK, but when I tried to boot normally there was no difference, I am still in an endless boot loop that gets as far as the black screen to "Start Windows Normally" then it resets and begins again. I tried the full scan in the partition wizard but no change. I went back to try some of the previous methods in case the partition wizard helped but no luck. The Recovery console on the PC still led to a BSOD, the XP installation disks still said there was an error when enumerating the C drive, and Insert said for sda1: "Attempting to correct errors...FAILED Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk". Interestingly for SDA2 it failed to mount the volume but went on to correct and say that partition was processed successfully. All of these responses to the previous repair methods are identical except perhaps the results for Insert (cant recall for sure) which is why I added in the detail in case it helps. [/QUOTE]
