To anyone who thinks they can help.  During a recent install attempt, Windows
NT 3.5 hosed down our hard drive real good.  This crash happened during
a conversion from MS DOS 6.22/WfWG 3.11 to Windows NT 3.5.1.

MS DOS 6.22 will not longer recognize the drive as existant. (FDISK will not
recognize a fixed disk is present).

Windows NT will not recognize a fixed disk is present.

The fun part is that the user of this drive didn't back up before the
attempted conversion and their is a file that absolutely must be retrieved
from this disk.

Any body got any bright ideas or know of any utilities that might be able
to recover data from this drive.

Drive is an EIDE Conner 540MB.

Please respond to ned.ludd@cpigeon.com or leeizzie@dnaco.net via email.

Thanks,


Lee Malatesta
