win2000 problems

[transformer]

Hi, i have been gone through this website. Support are good here. I have face a problems with my harddisk. Currently, i'm using the win2k OS, when i started my computer, normally it'll load the BIOS page, then to win2k page, after this the problem appear, after the win2k page finish, it prompt out the blue screen with error msg "The registry cannot load the drive..." after that, it restarting itself... then this loop with continue...

I tried to unplug the harddisk and plug in another computer with winXP. But i found that the sound of the harddisk like "tik tik tik" and i suspect that harddisk was bad sector. The winXp computer cannot detect the harddisk i plug in.

Any solution for this? If there is the harddisk failure, any way can retrieve the data in the harddisk.... the main problem is i cannot detect this bad sector harddisk in another computer.

Thanks for help!

That sound you describe is generally one of a "all but dead' harddrive.
You could try (some get lucky at times trying this) and "slave your hardrive to another machine and possibly pull out your data.
No promises however.

Edit note : "sorry didn't see the date!"

Hi Overclocked Doc,
I managed to retrieve the data using the slave method... anyway... thanks for helping...
