As the other respondents have already stated, you should run chkdsk with
the /r switch, from Recovery Console, once you have the drive back in
the original computer.

My only other comment is that you ran your virus scan prior to the
problem, from within Windows. I would run a virus scan of the drive
while it is slaved in the other computer, now.....that will help ensure
any virus or rootkit can be detected, while the affected drive is not
the boot drive.

boot looping can sometimes
be resolved by running the
command at the disk prompt:

fixboot.

John,

I decided to start with the most simplest of your suggestions ("...replace
the driver by copying it from the WINDOWS\system32\dllcache folder to the
WINDOWS\system32\drivers folder.")

And I must say that this worked. I copied the file from another xp install
on another drive and pasted it on the problem drive - and my original desktop
appeared once I reconnected the drive. however it seems that the ATI drivers
my system utilizes were not found. so my dt looked like it was in some sort
of safe mode. but i re-installed those drivers and everything was pretty much
back to normal.

But now I have no internet connectivity. running an ie diagnosis the error
indicates that the "winsock catalog needs a reset." i found a fix, but it had
no effect.

I might need to post another thread for this issue, but i thought i would
mention it. But thank you for the initial suggestion - at least i have access
to my docs/files/mp3s.
