Hello! I recently had the hard drive go out in my 2012 VM5i running winmax. I pulled the drive and attempted to recover it with some old windows xp administrator tools I had, however, it appears the drive is corrupt beyond repair. Is correctly partitioning the drive and reinstalling windows xp and winmax something I would be able to do on my own? I run a small shop and don't have much overhead so I would like to avoid a costly repair if possible!

I think I might be able to recover configuration files off the failing drive if it helps, but the registry table is toast.

Thanks for your help!!
