Xp discs won’t boot, any ideas?

Posted on March 7, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

Was using Slackware Linux 11 and needed to install XP, so just like normal, chucked the XP disc in and went to boot up from the CD as normal..except this time nothing happened. Got to the press any key to boot from CD and it just went black. Thought maybe it was my DVD drive, so i chucked in an Ubuntu live cd and it booted fine. I tried 2 discs with XP on them and both went black and just stalled. Any ideas what the problem could be?

How do you fix a FAT32 hard disk partition which Windows XP won’t read, but every other OS will?

Posted on January 25, 2011 by admin| 7 Comments

I have a 60GB FAT32 harddisk partition on a dual boot (Windows XP/Win98) PC. It has worked fine for 2 years. Now, following an improper shutdown and the resulting WinXP ‘checking disks for errors’ screen on startup, Windows XP can’t even read the volume name and asks if I want to format the drive when I try to open it. Properties dialog shows Filesystem: RAW. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the partition as far as Windows 98 is concerned (verifies fine with scandisk), and Linux Live CDs such as SLAX also open the partition with no trouble. There is nothing wrong with the physical disk or XP drivers, since other partitions on the drive are fine even from XP. Is there any way to ‘fix’ the disc, i.e. persuade XP that it is fine, short of backing up everything and reformatting (not easy since I don’t have any large HDDs to hand so I’d have to use a stack of DVDs).
