Hard disk problem

[amanchaudhariaman]

Yesterday i started my pc and it did as normal
but next day when i started, it showed the screen [ATTACHED] and did not proceed further for half an hour.


then i did RESET from cabinet

after that it showed

a black screen and it had written that
WINDOWS IS UNABLE TO ACCESS (some file)

file- boot\bcd


when i tried other os linux from usb (ubuntu,slax) they helped me to access some partitions of harddisk

ubuntu showed C:/ and F:/
slax showed C:/ and D:/

i backuped them

but is unableto get partition E:/

when i checked it with a recovery bootable program (from usb)
it shows only three partitions

with one having the size of my two partitions
i think two partitions got mixed up

sustem spec=
Windows 7 BUILD 7600
HARD DISK 500 GB SEGATE
2GB DDR2 RAM
INTE CORE 2 DUO 2.66 GHz
NO GRAPHIC CARD

Corrupt partition table.

What exactly were you trying to do before this happened?

Try resetting the mbr files. If this doesn't work, your best bet is to backup and format the whole drive.

no i was not trying to do any thing with the system
i only surf the net (for study)
it just happened suddenly without any previous symptoms
i am unable to access the drive E:
not even from linux [ubuntu,slax]
so i cannot even backup E:

i attached my hard disk to my friend' pc (win xp ,& win 7)
but it does not shows my hard disk inMy Computer
but it shows the name/number of my harddisk in Device Manager
i only want to backup E: somehow then i will erase my harddisk completely

can you pleast tell me- how to reset mbr files

you can try this to recover your lost partitions/drives on problem hard disk
Smart Partition Recovery - Download.com

use this software by installing on friend's pc & connecting your hdd as secondary device.

Use EasyBCD to do this.Open up EasyBCD.Click on BCD deployment.Select 'Install Vista/7 boot loader'.Click 'WriteMBR'.You will get a message confirming the successful operation.Now click 'Add new entry'.Select Windows7 as the type and click 'add entry'.
