re-install xp problems?
Ok, I have an hp pavillion dv1000 and I was running Ubuntu (for a C programming class I was taking). Afterwards I wanted to switch back to Windows XP Pro. I used DBAN to wipe the drive clean. Afterwards I booted from the cd drive with the xp disc. Everything loaded and then when it said to press enter to continue with the installation, I got an error saying “setup did not find any hard disk installed”. I don’t understand this, when I run a Linux live cd I can view and access the hard drive, but the XP disc can’t find it. I’m planning on updating to Vista in the next few days anyways but I wanted to know what’s going on….and btw does anybody know if the same problem exists with Vista?

I can’t have access to hard disk ntfs filesystem?
Someone please can help me how to recover my data from a hard disk with a partition ntfs filesystem to I can’t have access. The hard disk is with 2 primary partitions, the first is a system recovery and the second is where is installed de windows xp and . I tried to mount the C disk using a linux live cd but an input output error appear. Also with some recovery utilities I can’t get results.
I can use the system recovery for restore my windows but this proccess will format the disk and I want recover some important data before.
