SLAX – Live CD Linux on HDD (Fat32 Formatted)

www.slax.org Live CD Linux on HDD (Fat32 Formatted) It’s possible and speedy. It’s easy to handle. There are lots of nice modules, too.

What the HELL is wrong with my Hard Drive?

**Windows XP Home Edition**

Ok, that BSOD : UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME STOP: 0x000000ED.etc. Hard Drive failed/failing OR corrupt Boot.ini file.

Now. Here’s the thing: using some Linux Live CD’s I have been able to go and check what the problem is. When the saying “Failed HardDrive” Appears, i automaticly think that the harddrive is BUSTED! BUTT, when i go onto the Hard Drive’s folder on the Linux Live CD’s (/mnt/sda2/) I find that it is working all fine. and the boot.ini file is NOT corrupt.

1. Can someone please explain to me what a “Failed Hard drive” is?
2. Any Solutions?? I know that I can use a chkdsk -r to figure out the problem BUT:
- Booting into the “SafeMode + Command Prompt” Fail; i get the same BSOD
- I have NO access to any XP disk. AT ALL! My XP disk.. actually broke; snapped. And i can’t get hold of one. (Don’t tell me to buy one online -_-)
3. Is there a version of MS-DOS that I can boot into, so i can use chkdsk -r ?? I downloaded a MS-DOS Live CD, but there is NO way of accessing my Hard Drive from it.. Thankyou…

Does this sound like a failed Hard Drive?

The computer used to boot up and work, but after a few minutes it would crash and give the blue screen of death. I thought maybe the OS had become corrupted so I deleted the current partition and created a new one so that I could reinstall Windows. However it crashed several times during the OS setup and never finished installing.

I tried using a Linux Live CD (which loads entirely into ram) and it ran fine for hours, it never crashed. I finally tried installing Linux onto the harddrive but it failed as well, now the partition editor in Linux doesn’t even recognize the HD device.

Does this situation sound like a HD failure? A while back I thought it could possibly be the power-supply but now I’m leaning towards the HD. The computer is an EMachine Desktop, bought in 2005.
