You may be able to get the partition to mount by booting to Trinity Rescue Kit (TRK) and using NTFSFIX. You can get TRK here: http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=1&front_id=12 You can get basic NTFSFIX command line syntax here: http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsfix.8.html If this does not work then you could always boot the system to a Windows Rescue CD and run "chkdisk /F". Here is instructions on creating a Rescue CD. http://www.howtohaven.com/system/live-windows-rescue-cd.shtml -- Thx Joshua Gimer On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 5:17 AM, Joey "ryutlis" Wang <yalewhd@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all: > > I encountered a serious problem.
