ok so today I fried my friends Xp installation. I tried everything to fix it so my diaganosis was that xp was unrecoverable but his data was, with koppix or a external hdd. His dad insists on call tech support so he does. Then my friend calls me up telling me what dell said: that it happens all the time and the hdd is DEAD!!!!!I was like ROFL WTF????? I could easily read all the stuff on the hdd with dos. So dell sent him a free 160GB HDD!!! Now all we have to do is transfer his needed files, and reformat the borked hard drive.
