Question : Repair or recover winXP install

began an "imaging" process on a machine that had xp installed. I cancelled it almost immediatelly so the imaging itself didn't actually begin but it did something so that now the hard drive wont boot. Something with the MBR or the filesystem partition table, I don't know exactly.

Whats the best way to diagnose/repair this? If not possible to get it to boot, can I recover the data? I tried sysrescueCD and used fsarchiver probe and it said "No Filesystem Found." I also tried the windows recovery console and did fixmbr and fixboot and bootcfg /rebuild. The first command seemed to run but the second two commands failed. Chkdsk also fails.

Any advice??

What version of Access are you using?

If you are using 2003 or earlier, you can Replicate your database and synchronize it when you get back to work.

Just make sure that you read up on Replication, it can cause some problems.

MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR DB FIRST!!!!!!

Newer versions of Access do not support Replication. Unless your database is in .mdb format.
