corrupt hard drive

by rossanna . Updated 22 years, 11 months ago

My desktop was a dual-boot system. I decided I wanted to just have one OS, so I wiped the disk clean, partitioned, formatted and re-installed 98SE. From there I tried to upgrade to 2000 PRo, but during the disk check that 2000 does, it said the diskwas corrupt and cancelled the setup. I then did a scandisk of the C drive where 98SE resides, of all 25GB. It took 7 or so hours and said everything is fine on the disk. Tried re-installing 2000 pro and got the same ‘disk corrupt’ message. How can Irepair the disk if nothing shows up? Do you think the 2000Pro CD has a problem? Can a corrupt disk be repaired?
