Hi folks,
When I was away from home my nephew was playing a video game in my PC. While playing video game the power cuts off immediately. When he tried to restart, system could not load windows XP. Message was "diskett error".
When I booted with WinXP CD, it started to copy files into hard drive as it happens when we install winXP. There were 2 partions at the FINAL step. One was D with nfts file format and other was c with "unknow" file format. I deleted C: drive and created new C drive with "new raw" file format. The system directed me to setup format, i could not format it. There was an error in drive C.
When I did SCANDISK, this message displayed "this error prevents Scandisk to fix problem" .
I did FDISK but It takes too long (more than 5 hrs) while creating Primary Dos partion. Starts to "veryfying integrity" 0-100% and START and complete again and again, over and over. Plz tell me what to do now.

Pliz help to do so...
