@TBNRfrags you have to partition it with a special boot cd (preferrably Linux) so that windows can see it.

@Rigarmorty You could boot off a Linux USB (guessing the netbook doesn't have a CD) mount the local drive, and stand a chance at recovery.

@sjksanders do you have a recovery CD? Or can you boot from a USB stick with a simple linux distro on it to try and repair your hard drive?

@mfatta7 boot from a Linux CD that supports mounting the Win partition, and resetting the passwords from the registry hives.
