Did you try to "see" the hard disk from bios?
If the bios cannot see the hard disk it's not something you can fix
with a chkdsk.
And in that case it could be the hard disk that is dead, or the eide
channel or the eide cable. So you should try ro read the same hard
disk on a different machine.

at last, form linux shell, as root try
fdisk -l
to see what it see

I tried fixboot, fixmbr and chkdsk with winzoz rescue cd and it told me that there are irreversible error, while testdisk (knoppix) return no error until i try to repair mft (and then exits with no explanation...). In some way, i can see the partiton (apparently with the correct size) but i cant read it or mount it. Can it be a faulty MFT? If so, how did it appen and how can i repair it?
