From what you said above, you can see the hard drive's recovery partition, but not the system partition. This could be due to a failed/failing hard drive, but could equally be due to a damaged partition table.
One of the options of the rescue CD closed has linked above is to recover deleted partitions.
It's worth a try.How do I add a signature?0
