My girlfriends computer was acting a bit strange so I was going to re-partition it and ghost an image.

Well, when I noticed it wasnt back in windows yet from the partitioning I looked and it was apparently locked up. I waited about 3 hours with zero movement in % and I turned it off.

I can boot from the floppies, but it doesnt let me do that much. It is a 20 gig drive and I was creating an 8 gig partition. In PM it shows that the NTFS drive is 20 gigs, and there is an 8 gig unallocated space. No matter what I do I get a BSOD trying to get into windows...any ideas? :|

[edit]

Oh yeah, it gives me a seek error when I try to "check" it

Only thing I can suggest is putting the hard drive in as a secondary drive in another machine.
