I turned on my computer and instead of getting my usual Windows 98, I
got a "read error".
Tried many times, but only got read error.  I was eventually able to get
a C prompt.  from
the C prompt I could execute DOS commands.  When I try to get into
windows I still
get the read error.

I tried to reload windows, but I still get a "read error".  Seagate is
no help, they gave me
several companies that could extract the data.

I have no idea of how to solve this problem.  Is there any software outs
there that can
help me extract the data on my drive (9.1 gig seagate).  I have
purchased a new 30.6 gig
seagate drive.

Are there any other newsgroups more appropriate then the ones I have
addressed.

PLEASE HELP ME.

Fred.
