I have my 200GB HDD divided into 4 partitions:
C-Windows Vista 30GB
D-Windows XP 30GB
E-Games 120GB
F-System programmes- 20GB

So I had windows XP going, and I decided to restart my computer. Then it said a dll file was missing, and that re installing this file should fix the problem. So, I start up windows vista, and to my total horror, I find that when I click on D drive, it says it is corrupt and unreadable. Is there any way to save my XP installation, or is it totally stuffed?

Help please

Ok, back up all the data you need (your FS aircraft, music etc ;) ) onto CDs/DVDs. Then you'll need to wipe your hard drive and reinstall windows. Google "reformat windows" to find out how to do it.
