My computer hard drive was giving me problems were it would sometime fail to load , So I got a new drive install and add a fresh install of xp , Now I would like to try a repair installment on my original drive but I don't see any listing when trying the repair option , If I try the recovery option ? I'm able to view both installment of windows xp just not when I try the repair option , Why doesn't it show in the repair process ?
Thank you guys

Hello and welcome to Geeks To Go this problem might be because the disk is corrupt please try the flowing to fix this.

Click Start then Run and type
Chkdsk C: /x /r
This presumes that the original drive is C: drive if is not please change the letter to that belonging to that drive.
If you don't know the letter of the drive try leaving it out and use Chkdsk /x /r instead.

This may ask if you would like to complete the operation when you restart your computer if so press y and Enter.

It may take some time to run depending of the size of your hard drive.

In answer to your question about the 'Repair' option, Windows will only offer that option for the partition which is currently 'active' and which is therefore the boot partition.
