Hey all,
Hopefully someone has some ideas here. Had issue with Xp Pro loading, so after some tinkering, decided to repair install. Buggy, so formatted partition C of large drive and clean install. That worked great. Except. When I tried to install Windows updates, got "semaphore timeout error," as it was trying to access partition E (the large one with all my important stuff on it) and couldn't do it. I can access the drive and see the folders (which contains, looks like, info for SP1 and SP2 updates).
Now, can't even open ANY file on E:. Can see 'em, just can't open. Get same error. Ran System Suite 5's checker, but hangs on step 2, which is checking indexes. Ran chkdsk /p on recovery console and it hangs at 25% (which I imagine is same place).
Any thoughts?? Driving me crazy and I need the info on that drive.
Thanks!
