[Gllug] Computer trouble/willing to pay

[stanley]

Try getting a copy of knoppix, once booted it will show you if our data is
still ok on the hard drive. if it is back it up using that just in case. If
the info is on windows then boot up to recover console, fixmbr, fixboot. you
should then at least be able to boot to windows. For getting linux back, I'm
sure that there are plenty of people who can help with that part here.

Hi everyone,

I am in a kind of a real bind. Sometime ago I installed Linux on my HP
laptop. I run a dual boot with Windows 2000. I think it is Linux that
handles my boot manager  Both systems ran smoothly until today.

Now whenever I try to boot Windows I get the following message:

root (hd0, 0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0*7
make active
chainloader +1

a disc error occurred

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

My Linux system won't start either.

I am in the middle of my PhD research and needless to say it is really
important for me to restore my system as soon as possible.
I was wondering if any of you would be willing to help me. I am happy to pay
what compensation I can. I live in central London.


Thanks

Evangelia Berdou
