Dear netters! A happy new year!

I have the following problem with OS2/Warp 
 (486DX4-100, 16MB, 515MB HD):

For some reason s.o. used "fdisk", removing the only partition
of the hard disk: "start-partition, FAT, 515MB" and then saved 
this.

Now the system is not bootable. When a use my old OS2/2.1 
installation disks to get in the command line mode, I can
change to "c:" and all files are still there. When I call
"fdisk" it tells me that this harddisk is "not-formated"

-> "start-partition, not-formated, 515"

What can I do? If you would be so kind sending me an 
Email, I would be happy!

With best regards,

		R. Oestereich
