hd wont boot

by cyberjan . Updated 21 years, 4 months ago

during a power outage my pc crashed.
It is win xp home version on the harddrive.
When it boots it shows the recovery screen, it wont boot into any of the modes, it just flashes the win xp splash screen then reboots. I have booted with a floppy and it still wont boot, I have booted with the winxp cd and still wont boot.

I have installed another HD that has win ME on it.
This HD boots. and it sees the partition of the xp drive but its type is unknown.
Any suggestions?
Shouldnt I be able to get my files if I put it in the computer as a slave?

jan
