Hi, Don!
Well, here's the thing..... I did a lot of research on the internet and found around 14 products that might do the trick - maybe - and all for a price ranging from $49 to $149..... so I downloaded the 'trial' versions, as you suggested.
I got through a couple only to find out they couldn't handle the problem, and then when I was working with Runtime's "DiskExplor er for NTFS" which said it would not...

Thank you for those suggestions.... .. both seemed out of my range ($ and contacts), sooooooooooo... .........
After many moons (it feels like) I tried reinstalling windows on the C partition which I was sure would overwrite any data there, but was in hopes of at least salvaging the D partition as that is where almost all my files were anyway.
Well..... I can at least access the drive now, although the D partition only...Leave a comment:

After I went through the fixdisk, fixmbr, and chkdsk /p /r (which failed and made the disk no longer accessible by the Recovery Console to even 'see' there was a media there, albeit no directory access was ever there), and the system was only doing 'clicking' noises as it tried to access the media and failed, I was finally able to get the same old errors again.
One thing I had found, but didn't think of to mention,...Leave a comment:

Hi, Don..... I thought I posted the following info the other day.... but when I'm looking at the blog today, I don't see it listed, so here's what it was....
Thank you for your help. Here’s where I am now.
I put the 200gb disk in the bay as suggested and ran XP from the cd drive.

Ok.... so here's the thing....
Will the system "see" the external drive as containing the disk that needs repair on bootup with the xp disk?
I have an internal drive that I setup and have been using post the 200gbs failure so that I could get things done, although I need the files from the defunct one.
I'm thinking I'd have to put the 200gbs drive in a bay and remove the clip from the one I've...Leave a comment:

Thanks.... good question! (Anyway have you tried to to a repair on the windows install yet? )
I can't access they system at this point other than to "see" it listed in windows explorer and disk management.
Trying to access it gives me the incorrect function, even from dos.

C:\ is not accessible incorrect function
Unable to access C drive or D drive on 200gb hdd.
Original problem was clicking noises. Attempted reboot but was unable to boot supposedly due to a missing/corrupt windows file "windows root>\system32. hal.dll"
Was prompted to reinstall a copy of the file. Safe Mode did not work.
I did not find a copy of the file or know how to reinstall it... but ultimately the system ceased to prompt me...
