This newsgroup is for a program called Virtual PC.

What operating system system are you using and on what kind of computer? If
you are using XP, you may want to ask in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.

This is not a Virtual PC question.

But it sounds like you have a bad hard drive.

If you have a good backup, you buy a new drive and restore.

If you don't have a good backup, you buy and new drive and start all over
again.

In any case, you buy a new drive.

My guess would be a corruption in the .vhd file.
