My computer died again

[McNeo]

Yep, you heard it first here folks. My computer has officially died again. Not hardware this time though, XP installation was corrupted by repeated overclocking and restarts (how exactly I would like to know).

So to cut a long relatively story short, my friends computer is sitting on its side, open, next to mine which is also open. Ive had to dig out my 6 year old floppy drive and I dont have the connection to power it >.< Luckily, my friends budget PSU has more archaic connections than mine, so that part was ok.

Downloaded the Hitachi feature tool to make my HDD work with my friends computer. However my friends computer doesnt pick up Sata-2 at all so, i had to put it back in my computer.

With the HDD settings changed, smooth sailing you would think? Nope sorry, I mounted the hard drive akwardly in the cage and it bloody sparked with the back of another HDD, which has made my freinds HDD work only selectively now. My HDD is not damaged though, but i smelt burning silicon....

Anyway, after fiddling loads and finally getting my freinds computer to boot, I transfered what files I could find on to his undamaged HDD, then plopped it back in my computer with the WinXP disk in the drive. Surely plain sailing from here no? Nope, the XP installation only picked up one of my two partitions, and my freind deleted it before I could see its significance. Hence, my freinds computer refused point blank to boot with it connected in any way. So, installing windows. No hitch there, all gone to plan, apart from the 200 gig of space I just lost in my non-existant second partition.

With WinXP installed, it booted on my freinds computer and I transfered the critical files I needed and wanted. I duplicate my freinds internet settings, but no the internet refuses to work! So I get SP2 from a site on my freinds computer and transfer it to my HDD, after yet more wire fiddling.

So FLMM and FLAM on my PC, and I find out that FLAM refuses point-blank to work, giving me this error:

Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependancies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

Coretemp also doesnt work, giving me the Bsod whenever i try to start it. CPU-Z works fine though.

What?! No internet. No Freelancer. Damn. But a clean install of windows to start over. I can get the IT manager to have a look at my internet settings, so thats covered, but I need help in recovering my invisible partition. If any of you have experienced somthing similar or have a possible solution, please say!
