All I can recommend is using another computer to do a backup then running a full checkdisk and this should tell you if the drive is repairable or not.Originally Posted by AB

Cheers mudski. I have the Windows 7 install disk on its way.
Rusty_nail has been helping me so far and it sounds like he's taking me down the same path you have mentioned apart from downloading the drivers. Grab a USB and get the drivers tomorrow. How big are they? Should they all fit onto a 2gb stick?
Hello from Under Down Under!
Andy if you need an XP disc, W7 Ultimate disc, Win8 disc, Office 2007 or 2010 let me know. I got'em all. Plus others. Lol.

Easily fit mate. But don't load any of the HP crap. Just Windows, drivers, programs I mentioned and then your porn. hehe.

Thanks for that mate!
I can't check disk in either option as it fails on boot to check and in cmd it says the volume is in use.

Without a disk there is not much you can do
