	I have a IBM PS/Value point with OS/2 2.1 loaded as the only 
operating system.  There is a problem with the boot sector because error
messages "sys02025" and "sys02027" came up every time I turn the machine 
on.  I can not get anywhere from there.  I was able to break in using a 
DOS boot diskette because I'm using the FAT file system.  I can see all the
files and directories that way but I can not access them through OS/2.  I
tried "fdisk /mbr" through DOS.  I also tried booting up using OS/2 
installation 
diskette, escaping to a prompt, issuing command "sysinstx c:".  None of the
above worked.  When I did "chkdsk", I got an "data reading (CRC) error".  I'll
hate to reformat the hard drive and reload all the software again.  Installing
OS/2 with all those wonderful communication packages is not my favorite thing
to do.  All the data is still on the hard drive except that the boot sector is
corrupted.  I wonder if there is a way for me to recover the hard drive
without reformating it. I'd appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions about
what I should do.
