I had this problem before and how I fixed it. Take that bad hard drive out and plug it to another working pc that has the same operating system (NT4) as slave. Boot the pc and the primary hard drive will recognize errors on secondary one and will auto correct it. If not, logon to Window as usual, then go command line C: prompt, then type:
C:\chkdsk d: /f
It should detect some errors and will correct it.
Turn off pc and take secondary hard drive out and plug it back to original pc as primary one. Reboot the pc and pray. Good luck.
