Partition Corrupted
My computer has been having boot up issues and running slow. A few weeks back I had a trojan in my memory. I have since cleaned it out via Avast and I no longer show any virus'. I have a Seagate ultra ATA 100 120 GB hard drive and I ran the seagate diagnostics on it and it told me I have a corrupted partition. Seek help. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? Reasonable software that would correct this? Reload Windows XP?
Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks in advance. |

How is your drive partitioned?
If the corrupt partition is not your Windows one, then a format may solve the problem. Deuce

Seatools should do you for reformatting the drive< would suggest going back to a bare drive (factory default) prior to re-installing Windows. Also once done (before Windows install) run the diagnostics again.

Boot with the XP CD and use the repair console, run chkdsk /p. You *may* also have to use fixboot and/or fixmbr. Do NOT do any of this unless you have your data backed up.

If you have another computer use it to connect the drive via USB with an external HDD kit , Do a clean wipe on the drive and reinstall Win Xp. In the future You should have to drives spinning the same thing at all times incase one fails.
