Unable to boot into win xp or ubuntu

[g_ramesh]

Hi

Initially the following has happened:

Sometime back I installed Ubuntu 10.04 thru WUBI on to one of the partitions of my HD (which is already installed with Win xp sp3).

Y'day when I tried to boot into Ubuntu the following message is displayed:

"
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll

Please re-install a copy of the above file.
"

1. I checked up under " C:\WINDOWS\system32 " the file with the name HAL.DLL is present.

2. My boot.ini file is as follws"

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\wubildr.mbr = "Ubuntu"


Then the following happened:

Now problem seems to be increased as I am not able to boot into win xp either. It is showing hal.dll is missing.

Then I tried the following.

1) when tried to use recovery console , it is showing C:\> after some time.
Then I issued the command expand h:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll.

2)Then it displayed " Access is denied ".


Then I tried to run chkdsk with /r option after 50% completion is showed "the system has unrecoverable errors"

At last I booted thru a live CD of Ubuntu 10.04 and checked for computer. It is displaying the three of my original partitions of my HD but none of them are being mounted and are showing the following message:

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error
Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.


Also I used mint Live CD to boot and took various screeshots and uploaded them to megaupload whose link is :

Please tell me whether

1. My win xp gone bust of HD gone bust?
2. How to recover the data available in /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6?
3. Is there a way to restore MBR or MFT or partition table to boot into xp ?
