My PC has the first HDD with 95 on C: and 2000Pro on E: (NTFS), the 2nd HDD (slave) formatted NTFS.
E: is showing bad sectors and the effect is that Outlook is screwing up (I lost some incoming mail yesterday that downloaded but didn't write to the drive) and if I try to copy the pst file to D: it stops 3/4 of the way through and gives me a cyclic redundancy error (whatever that is). Copy also fails under safe mode / command prompt only.
I have performed disk checking on E: but although the process aappears to complete, the error remains.
Can I do anything other than reinstall 2000 on E?
Can I do something similar to xcopy /s/c/h/e/r/k/y (which I would do under 95/98), copying everything on E: to D:, formatting E: and copying everything back? I know that when I have tried this xcopy under 2000 before I get file access errors in root and \winnt.
Any ideas please?
Tony.
