well i "uninstalled" sp2 from the add/remove programs thingy... dunno if that just reverted back to sp1 or removed all sp's completely... but in any case, windows could never start after it was uninstaled... and yes, i have tried the hdd on another computer as that was how i was able to see how the partitions had been changed... and using chkdsk on xp recovery from the setup brings up a message like "chkdsk found unrecoverable errors"... any other suggestions??? i want to avoid formatting if possible :/
