Posted October 21, 200717 yr For no reason that I can work out, XP suddenly stopped booting. When I got in via Recovery Console I found that boot.ini, hal.dll and a few other key files were missing, along with all of My Documents. I've now reinstalled XP, but CHKDSK automatically runs about 1 boot in 5 during startup, and always finds a number of errors. I've run SeaTools to test my disk, and it finds no errors. Is there any other way of seeing if my hard-drive is dying? Any way of working out what chkdsk is finding problems with? Thanks in advance.
