During making preparations for upgrading from WinMe to WinXP my HD is suddenly no longer bootable. The disk contains a C-drive (boot up) and D-drive. A DIR command from a floppy says the media on the HD is invalid.
I have used Partition Recovery which doesn't find any former partitions but declares the entire 80Gb of the disk Unallocated. Still, when I do a disk view I see the first few sectors seemingly correctly. I did an FDISK /MBR without any result. I also checked with Norton Ghost which reports a correct size of the disk.
Would my Partition Table possibly be corrupted and if so, are there possibilities to restore the table?
Any help would be appreciated.
