Guys,
I need assitances.
Last nite my computer froze so I restarted it.
Upon reboot, I was giving the option to start windows normally, but it didnt work, what happened is XP loading screening loads up and then for a split second the blue screen on death appears and then the computer goes into this looping of restarting, until I turn the computer off.
Samething happened when I attempted to load in command prompt, network boot or safe mode.
I have partioned my harddisk and I use GRUB to boot up Linux or Windows.
My Linux is fine.
I have attempted to load off my boot disk and attempt system recovery but after the long process I get the option to press R for Repair or Enter for installation.
So I press R and it goes through its spill and then I have the Option to exit and restart the computer, then DOS prompt.
The issue is I get prompted in C:\ but my partioned windows drive is F:.
Please guys any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you

Ok guys,
After a while of press R in Autorecovery I got command prompt.
So i typed chkdsk, then chkdsk /r, then chkdsk /p.
Then once that was complete I typed exit to restart my computer.
Upon restarting my computer, windows now loads up longer and instead of the blue screen of death, I get a blank screen with no options, not even my keyboard is working.
So I restarted my computer and loaded off boot disk again.
This time when I went through the recovery process I got the option to select load option and the only option I was able to select was 1.
So I typed 1 with admin password and I got into my C:\windows directory.
However Im unable to do anything there and not able to see my files.
When I type cd.., cd \ or cd (anything) nothing happens.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Furthermore if my partioned drive is 30GB and I have less than 100MB would that affect my harddisk.
Thank you

I typed dir and I was able to see all my files.
It seems everything was fine expect windows wasnt able to load up.
I attempted to load via safe mode and via command prompt and the computer gets stuck on MUP.sys.
I took out the battery for around 5 mins to reset my BIOS and after restarting it, I couldnt load GRUB to choose LINUX.
I loaded off the boot disc and attempt to install windows again hoping that windows will detect that windows is already installed, it didnt.
At the end I gave up, took my hard disk and put it as a slave in another system copied wat i needed and formatted.
I wish i had a solution to help others, but hopefully someone else would.
