XP Hard Drive Issue...Need Some Help...

here are a few more programs, one of them is freeware that lets you explore

NTFS Data Recovery Software. BootDisk, Freeware NTFS DOS and more...

Boot up with a Linux LiveCD and grab the files from there.

Thanks all.

Going to try a home software recovery if CD's last bit of advice fails. LINUX isn't something I have experience with, so unless you can give me more detailed info, or a link to it, that isn't an option for me...though the suggestion is appreciated.

You can also try downloading Hiren's Boot CD from here - http://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hi...ootCD.15.0.zip

Unzip it, and double-click on the .ISO file. It should have you burn a CD. Boot from said CD, choose Mini XP and see if you can see the drive from in there.
