That's not much of a question, but if I had a damaged Master Boot Record, I'd do this: find your Windows XP disk, put it in your CD or DVD drive, and restart your computer. Hit whichever keys you need to hit, to make it boot from CD. Choose the Repair Option, and then "Recovery Console". Once you are logged on, just type this: "FixMBR", but without the quotation marks. And unless you have a boot sector virus, it will repair itself.

That is because you are accessing the files on the C: drive right now.  There should be an option asking to rescan during your next reboot (of you are running Error Checking from the Properties of the Local Drive).  That is the option you need to take to completely scan the drive.

Give CD Check a try.  It will detect any errors and try to recover any corrupt files. It has saved my rear on an ocassion or 2.\n\nhttp://www.elpros.si/CDCheck/

You can use a commercial product like partition magic, or you can use a free one, which works just as well. The best and simplest free licence one is 'fips'(Stands for "First nondestructive Interactive Partition Splitting program"), which you can get off the internet. You can also use Windows FDISK, but this is a destructive one, meaning that it destroys files on the partition area. Try this website - www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/

Boot up into safe mode and re-install windows.  What's the name of the corrupt file?  You might be able to jsut rename the corrupt file and re-extract it fromt he CD.

If you want a disk check scan: \n\ngo to start, select My Computer\nRight click on your C Drive or whichever you want to scan.\nSelect Properties - select Tools from the top menu, then select Error checking.\n\nyou may have to schedule the scan to run at next boot if resources are unavailable.  this is for XP, might be different but similar for other OS

I would go to C drive in control panel right click on C drive go to properties then tools and do a good defrag and disk check - If disk check finds and fixes just a few bad files all is well. If it finds a bunch - Start saving you pennies and backing up data!!! You can also do the above in safe mode by hitting F8 while windows is booting. This is the more effective way but it also has a little more risk of changing a few files.

"PC Inspector File Recovery" is a free software. Download it from "http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pcinspector.html". Its a pretty descent program.\nHowever, I will recommend you use\nGetDataBack for FAT or\nGetDataBack for NTFS\ndepending upon your file system. These are of course paid ones but they are very reliable.

You could scan it using an antivirus program and/or antispyware program. If it fails to be cleaned, you may have to re-install Windows or move to another operating system (I would recommend Ubuntu Linux -http://www.ubuntu.com)

u can extract them using something like winiso. http://www.winiso.com/\nbut if you mean boot up from the iso file, that is not possible doesnt matter what applications u have. \nu would need to extract the bin files to a dvd/cd etc

First off - if the problem is not mechanical but just that your computer can't read the drive i.e. the thing hic-cups and makes noises but doesn't let you get to the data, then there is a freeware program called PC Inspector File recovery. This works well and I have used it a few times.  If you enter http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm in the address bar that will take to their site. \nIf the drive is just dead and will not do a thing then I am afraid it will cost money to get back the data. One such company is called Ontrack & the tel. is 0800 243 996 \nGood luck!!!!!!
