BSOD even with Safe Boot so tried to fix....

[Karla]

Figured I really screwed something up because even though couldn't boot in WinXP, I was able to see files with the "P" after analyze but then after I did deep search it said drive appears too small and I did a rebuild BS and repair MFT using testdisk but now it does not show any files at all on the NTFS partition. I did choose to create a log but have no idea where the log is stored and since I can't use my computer at all, I don't know what to do next.

Wrote down most of what I saw on screen so hope this info can help someone help me fix my problem. I would be so greatful!

Dell computer has 2 drives:
Create a new log YES

>81 - 320GB / 298 GiB

INTEL and entered

Clicked "P" and could see files and directories

Then highlighted NTFS

Said The harddisk (250GB/232GB) seems too small! (<2155GB/2007GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumper settings, BIOS detection...

CheckFAT: can't read FAT boot sector
Invalid boot sector

The following partition can't be recovered:

After changing Dell Utility to P and NTFS to * and p for files
WRITE then QUIT

REBUILD BOOT
List and showed files

NOTE: then proceeded to do the same steps on the NTFS partition and think I should not have because now can't see files like previosly could.

NOTE: I noticed the numbers were different, unlike the previos partition ???

REPAIR MFT
MFT and MFT mirror are bad. Failed to repair them.

NOTE: Tried to list files again but this time it says something like filesystem not present. I guess I screwed my system up worse than it was to start with as in I believe I was getting the Blue Screen with code 0x0000007B even when trying to boot in safe mode of WinXP. I was able to get into my recovery console and could see all my files but it would not allow me to copy these files to my new external USB HD so I could then reformat my internal drives and reinstall everything from scratch and then move data files back once I had a clean system.

Please help!! Hope I didn't ruin my filesystem beyond recovery and someone can help me get my MFT pointing to the files again. Thanks in advance for help!
