    Well, it looks like you need a new drive...

    If you have any important data on that drive, you better get it backed up now, before you lose access to the drive completely. Then go buy a new one as Broni said. They are really quite cheap now days.

    If you can't get it to boot again, try booting a Linux "Live" CD like Puppy Linux. See if you can access the HD that way. If yes then you should be able to offload your data to a flash drive or CDR Disc (or DVD Disc).

    See this post by Happyrck on GeeksToGo for Puppy Linux:

    Get the latest version available as the one he recommends is no longer easy to find.

    well i have a little version of linux, my friend from school told me to make the last time this happened, he somehow got it to work again and reinstalled windows , i used the cd to see what drivers i needed, he doesnt know how he fixed it last time, i know this drive can be saved, but yes a new hard drive might be needed, but i got only 40 bucks lol i dont know anywhere that sells them that cheap, best buy has a 250gig on sale for 60, wish i had enough, but until then, im gonna keep trying to fix this

    guyz good news, i fooled around in the bios for a little bit, doing a bunch of crap, all i did was press f9 a bunch of times, to laod defaults, and booted to my windows xp cd and did a chkdsk /r this time it loaded past 40% and didnt say my drive had one or more unrecoverable problems, so i had hope, well it finished and repaired something, this time did a fixboot also, and now it came right up! so thanx for the help i hope it stays fixed XD
