Try running CHKDSK on the drive you are having the problem with. Also, what
OS and file system are you running?

i have downloaded MSDE sql ad I have extract it...

but now I can't install it with the command prompt

Is windows xp home edition a problem?Start the MSDE Service:

You need to start the new instance in order to establish a connection to it. If you specified an instance name during installation then the default service name is MSSQLServer$<InstanceName> where <InstanceName> is the instance name you specified during installation. Example: The service name would be MSSQLServer$Matrix if you specified the instance name to be Matrix during installation. If no instance name was specified the the default service name is simply MSSQLServer.

--> I don't find the MSDE Service: is that caused by HOme Edition?
